Galt Joint Union Elementary board adopts 2025–26 budget, certifies positive status
Summary
The board adopted the district's 2025–26 budget, projecting carryover funds and an unrestricted reserve of roughly 11.11%, certified as positive; the board also approved routine federal consolidated application and related consent items.
The Galt Joint Union Elementary School District board voted unanimously May 26 to adopt the district's 2025–26 budget, which staff said reflects May Revision projections and known carryover funds and preserves an unrestricted reserve projected at about 11.11%.
During the staff presentation Alejandra (last name not specified) of the district fiscal team said the district's projections include state budget assumptions and that the district is able to certify the budget as “positive” and maintain fiscal stability for 2025–26. The staff presentation noted a reduced cost projection compared with second interim that contributed to the reserve position.
Trustees approved a set of routine fiscal and compliance items as part of the consent calendar. Those items included the district’s Education Protection Account (EPA) use-of-funds disclosure (state-required reporting on funds to be used for certificated salaries), the consolidated application to request federal Title funds (Title I, II, III, IV) and the single plans for student achievement (SPSAs) submitted by site councils. Each consent item passed on unanimous roll-call votes.
Board motions recorded in the meeting log show the budget motion was moved by Trustee Annette Coonsie and seconded by Trustee Casey Raboy; the EPA and consolidated application motions were moved and seconded as listed in the meeting minutes. The staff presentation noted that some state and federal funding levels remain subject to final state and federal decisions and that the district will monitor changes through the year.
