Summary
The Creighton Elementary District governing board adopted a revised fiscal 2024-25 aggregate district budget, approving the May revision as corrected; the vote was unanimous among members present.
The Creighton Elementary District governing board adopted its revised fiscal year 2024-25 aggregate budget at the May 13 meeting, approving the May revision ‘‘as corrected’’ under Arizona Revised Statutes 15-905(e)(1).
The superintendent’s budget staff presented final adjustments for the May revision that reflected updated student counts (a slowdown in the district’s prior enrollment decline), final carry-forward figures from the prior year, and correction of a one-time payment that had not rolled into the budget earlier. The presenter said the May revision incorporated roughly 60 fewer projected declines on the district’s final 100-day average daily membership (ADM) count than had been estimated in prior projections.
Why it matters: the revised budget is the district’s last opportunity before adoption to align expected revenues and expenditures with finalized student data and one-time adjustments; it sets the financial baseline for staffing and programs for the remainder of the 2024-25 fiscal year and for planning into 2025-26.
Board action: the governing board moved and seconded a motion to adopt the revised aggregate district budget for fiscal year 2024-25, citing ARS 15-905(e)(1). The roll-call vote was recorded as unanimous among members present (Ayers, Carrillo, Jones, Marquez). The board’s approval was noted as ‘‘as corrected’’ to reflect a correction to the contacts list in the posted budget and the updated figures described in the presentation.
Background detail: the presenter said the district had previously budgeted a larger enrollment decline and that revised student counts and carry-forward amounts produced a smaller decline and an improved carry-forward balance. The presenter described the May revision as a routine but necessary step in ensuring the district’s adopted numbers match final available data.
Ending: board members had no further questions after the presentation and moved from the budget hearing into the remainder of the meeting with the budget adopted by the board.
