Summary
District staff presented the Lancaster‑Lebanon Career & Technology Center (CTC) budget for the 2025–26 year. The CTC’s proposed operating budget is $8.9 million; Cornwall‑Lebanon’s share of the district contribution is $1.8 million (27% of the district contribution). The board will be asked to approve the budget next week.
District staff presented the Lancaster‑Lebanon Career & Technology Center proposed operating budget for 2025–26 at the April 7 public work session and asked the board to prepare to consider formal approval at the next regular meeting.
Staff said the CTC’s proposed budget is $8,900,000 for 2025–26, a year‑to‑year increase of $374,000 (4.4%). Salaries and benefits comprise the majority of the CTC budget: staff reported $7,200,000 projected for salaries and benefits (about 81% of the total). The total district contribution to the CTC budget presented was $6,600,000, a $262,000 (4.15%) increase; Cornwall‑Lebanon’s share of that district contribution was reported as $1,800,000 (27% of the district contribution), a $80,000 (4.6%) increase driven mainly by higher student interest and participation.
Staff said the CTC enrollment assumption driving district shares is roughly 215 students (an increase from prior year counts used for apportionment), and that district apportionment is calculated from a three‑year average of enrollment in grades 10–12 and attendance.
The board was informed the CTC budget will be on the agenda for formal approval at the next meeting.
Ending
Staff will bring the CTC budget forward for board action at the regular meeting next week; subsequent program contracts from the IU will be presented in May or June as they become available.
