- Fiscal year 2025 budget adjustment (cleanup items): The board approved adjustments to the FY2025 budget to reflect an actuarial pension entry (TRA and PERA recognition), nonpublic pupil aid through the community service fund, and internal service fund budgets for self‑funded medical and dental programs (motion moved and second; outcome passed, 5–0). The presentation noted the pension-related entries offset by state aid and the intent to improve audit clarity.

The adopted general fund budget reflected a 2.23% increase after prior reductions and noted continued pressures from rising costs and constrained state revenue.
