Board approves budget revision, capital plan and compensation changes; accepts $108,555 in donations
Summary
The Yuma Union High School District governing board approved a budget revision for fiscal 2025–26, the fiscal year 2026 capital plan submission, a revised employee compensation packet and a partial termination/release of a ditch easement; the board also accepted $108,555.69 in donations including a $72,000 HUDL package donation.
At a special meeting the Yuma Union High School District governing board approved several routine and fiscal items, including a budget revision for fiscal 2025–26, the district’s fiscal year 2026 capital plan for submission to the Arizona Department of Administration School Facilities Division, and a revised employee compensation packet.
The board voted unanimously to adopt the budget revision and to submit the capital plan. "I make a motion to approve the budget revision for 20 25 20 26," a board member moved; the motion passed after a second with all members voting in favor. The board also unanimously approved the fiscal year 2026 capital plan for submission to the state and the revised 2025–26 employee compensation packet (the packet removed a fall break from the holiday list for a specific employee category, as described in the packet).
Director of Finance Brenda Guerra presented a monthly internal budget update before the votes. Guerra said the district’s maintenance and operations budgeted amount is $104,621,240 and that the district has spent about 8 percent so far this school year. She reported the capital-budget total as $11,032,089 and said roughly 16 percent of that budget was shown as spent in the packet; the presentation noted that the board will receive an updated budget report next month because a formal revision had not yet been approved. Guerra also presented the student activities fund ending cash balance for the district as $726,840.27.
The board accepted donations totaling $108,555.69. The largest single donation listed in the packet was a HUDL live game-streaming package sponsored by Chapman Automotive Group for the district’s athletic programs, estimated at $72,000. The donation list included school-specific items and transportation or equipment donations across the district’s schools.
Other actions approved unanimously included the Summerton partial termination and release of ditch easement (a revised document that the board reviewed and which the superintendent said does not create new financial obligations for the district) and the routine consent agenda items presented at the meeting.
Motions were made and seconded on the record; when the meeting record did not list individual vote tallies, the board chair called for voice votes and recorded the motions as carried unanimously. No item was tabled or failed.
