Fiscal staff presented unaudited 2025–26 figures showing roughly $303M–$307M in expenses, a structural deficit of about $6.9M tied to lower enrollment, and raised concerns about a $1M annual cost from a new paid-leave mandate; final audited figures are expected in September.

Ana Campbell, the district's Director of Fiscal Services, delivered a preliminary view of unaudited actuals and the state funding context, telling trustees the district is working through audit reviews and will present final figures in September. Campbell said unaudited expenditures were around $303,000,000 in August with ongoing adjustments of about $3.7M pending invoice and time-sheet corrections.
