Klamath County School District staff on Tuesday presented the district’s financial statements through April and told the board the district is in a generally solid cash position but is watching state revenue forecasts that could reduce future funding.

The district’s finance presenter, Janet (last name not specified), reported month‑of‑April collections of about $6.2 million and year‑to‑date collections reported in the transcript as about $91.3 million. She said the district was at about 86% of expected collections this year compared with 91% at the same point last year. Expenditures for April were reported as about $7.9 million with year‑to‑date expenditures reported around $74.7 million; Janet said the district’s year‑to‑date spending rate is about 61% versus about 64.5% at the same time last year.

Nut graf: Janet presented an ending fund balance for April of about $27 million and an anticipated ending fund balance at June 30 reported in the meeting as about $5.1 million; she cautioned the board that a state economic forecast that is trending down could reduce future legislative funding and grant opportunities, which may affect next biennium planning.

Janet said special revenue funds look stronger because of timely SIA (Student Investment Account) receipts: “I think I mentioned last meeting we were able to collect a 100% on SIA,” she said. She also noted debt‑service levy taxes have been collected and that the district will make bond debt payments in May and June.

Superintendent (unnamed) and board members discussed accountability and student performance in the budget context. A board member praised Janet’s work after recent budget‑committee review: “It was the most transparent budgeting deal that I've ever worked on,” the board member said.

The superintendent cautioned the board about the state revenue outlook: presenters said the governor’s proposed biennial budget had been $11.4 billion and that the downward state forecast may mean some proposals for extra funding (for high‑cost services, for example) may not pass the legislature.

Separately, presenters noted a reduction in the district’s summer school allocation by about $500,000 this year; district staff said they would direct some summer school dollars differently in response.

Ending: The finance report was received and discussed; board members asked questions and staff committed to monitoring state revenue developments as they prepare next biennium planning and to report back as needed.
