District reports small enrollment gain, flags early-year expenditure pace
Summary
At its September meeting, the School District reported 1,013 students enrolled as of Sept. 1, a net increase from last year, and noted year-to-date revenues equal to 11.6% of the budget while expenditures and encumbrances are about 165% of the budgeted amount at this point in the fiscal cycle.
At the Sept. 1 board meeting, the district presented its fall enrollment and financial report showing 1,013 students enrolled as of Sept. 1. "As of September 1, we have 1,013 students enrolled in the district," a staff member presenting the report said. That compares with about 1,000.6 students reported the prior September.
The financial report showed the district has received 11.6% of its budgeted revenues for fiscal year 2026 and has expended or encumbered approximately 165% of the budgeted expenditures to date. "We have received 11.6% of the budgeted revenues for fiscal year 26," the presenter said. The presenter added that the prior year at this time the district had received about 11.4% of budgeted revenues.
Board discussion included a question about class-size and cohort changes. One board member noted fluctuations in a senior cohort: "This is comparing to a year ago... the number is 23. And that's down from 28 when they were juniors," the board member said, pointing out a net decrease in that group compared with the prior year's September count.
The board approved the financial report by voice vote.
The enrollment and early-year expenditure pace will inform budget monitoring as staff continue to reconcile encumbrances and revenue timing for the fiscal year.
