District 94 board adopts FY2025 amended budget with bilingual and student-activity adjustments
Summary
Board approved the FY2025 amended 50‑36 budget after a public hearing that added student activity revenue/expense, restored $100,000 for a bilingual FTE, increased food service by $20,000 and moved some EBF revenue to offset special-education transportation costs.
The Community High School District 94 Board of Education held a public hearing and approved an amended FY2025 50‑36 budget during its June 17 meeting, making targeted adjustments to reflect actual program costs.
The amended budget adds student activity expense and offsetting revenue back into the plan, restores $100,000 to cover a bilingual full‑time equivalent (FTE) position that was omitted from the original budget, and increases the food service expense line by $20,000 to account for higher than expected free meal counts. The administration also added a $6,200 grant account that had been omitted and moved some Evidence‑Based Funding (EBF) revenue from Fund 20 to Fund 40 to offset additional special‑education transportation costs.
Director of Business Services Dan Olberg summarized the changes in the public hearing comments and told the board the adjustments were “tying up loose ends” for a budget that ends in two weeks. After the public hearing closed with no public speakers on the budget, the board voted to approve the amended budget by roll call.
Roll call votes recorded unanimous approval (ayes from board members in attendance). The chair instructed board members to sign the amended budget before leaving the meeting. The budget adjustments were presented as one‑time or reclassification changes to reconcile omissions and updated expense projections; no long‑term structural tax or levy changes were proposed during the hearing.
