Board approves 2024–25 expenditure budget revision after state ADM update
Summary
The board unanimously approved a revised fiscal‑year 2024–25 expenditure budget after the Arizona Department of Education released updated Average Daily Membership (ADM) figures; the revision increases M&O and unrestricted capital accounts and will be uploaded to ADE before the May deadline.
The J O Combs Unified School District governing board voted 5-0 to approve the district’s 2024–25 expenditure budget revision after staff updated the budget to reflect newly published Arizona Department of Education (ADE) basic calculation and ADM figures.
Superintendent and business staff explained ADE released an updated calculation (BSA/ADM) that altered the district’s ADM projections since the earlier April report. The revision increases the district’s ADM by 13.0173 students to a projected 3,653.1134 ADM and raises the maintenance and operations (M&O) budget by $415,335 and unrestricted capital by $199,423, per the presentation to the board.
Why it matters: Arizona Revised Statute 15-905 requires districts to finalize and submit expenditure budget revisions before the mid-May statutory deadline; staff told the board the approved revision must be uploaded to ADE no later than May 18. The update reflects state-provided figures and ensures the district’s spending plan aligns with current funding estimates.
What the vote did: The board approved the revision so staff could submit the updated numbers to ADE by the statutory deadline.
Ending: Staff will upload the revised budget to ADE and return with routine monthly budget reports and the proposed budget for FY 2026 in coming months.
