Plymouth‑Canton presents 2025‑26 budget outlook; projects enrollment decline and identifies $3.2M in reductions
Summary
Chief finance officer Jill Minnick presented the district’s budget development timeline and assumptions, projecting a loss of 151 pupils, a $1.5 million revenue hit from enrollment decline and identified roughly $3.2 million in expenditure reductions to help preserve fund balance.
Jill Minnick, the district’s chief finance and operations officer, told the Plymouth‑Canton Community Schools Board of Education that the district is preparing for a tighter 2025‑26 fiscal year, driven by declining enrollment and modest state revenue increases.
Minnick said the district projects 15,883 full‑time‑equivalent (FTE) pupils next year — a decline of 151 students — which represents about $1.5 million in lost revenue under current foundation allowance assumptions. She reviewed the executive, House and Senate proposals for the state’s school aid budget: the governor proposed a $392 per‑pupil foundation increase, the House proposed $417 and the Senate $400. Minnick said the governor’s figure, if adopted, would generate about $6.2 million for the district from the per‑pupil increase.
