Board approves small FY2025–26 general fund amendment to reflect revenue and expenditure adjustments
Summary
Trustees approved a balanced amendment that increases the FY2025–26 revenue budget by $644,300, primarily from local levy reassessment and other adjustments, and adds targeted expenditures including SRO costs, Lean Six Sigma training and utility adjustments.
Finance staff presented the district’s proposed FY2025–26 general fund budget amendment No. 1 on Oct. 27, and the board approved the amendment by voice/hand vote.
The amendment increases the district’s revenue budget by $644,300 (approximately 0.34%) to a proposed amended revenue total, with a primary driver being an increase in local levies due to higher-than-expected assessed value growth. The presentation also noted a projected $402,084 decrease in state aid tied to lower average daily membership at the 45-day count versus the state’s projection; administration said the official state adjustment is expected in November or January and that another amendment could be required if material variance appears.
On the expenditure side, the amendment includes adjustments for school resource officer costs (an increase of about $220,000), Lean Six Sigma instructor training for credentialing, memorial plaques to honor fallen service members, athletic support, and $143,300 for utility, supplies and a stormwater repair at 6 Mile Elementary School. Officials said the amendment is balanced and recommended approval; the board approved it in a single reading.
