At the November meeting the district’s business officer reviewed how the final state budget compared with the district’s projections and explained impacts for next year’s books.
He said the district’s basic instructional subsidy rose by about $165,000 from last year, but line-item adjustments and cyber‑school reimbursements left the district about $49,000 short of the numbers used in the Delaware Valley budget. "The sum of that on the revenue side is about $49,000 less than what we put in our DV budget," he said.
The officer noted a new $50,000 ready‑to‑learn adequacy allocation and other smaller shifts: vocational education funding rose modestly while special‑education funding had an $18,000 reduction versus budget projections. He said a change in how cyber‑school costs are funded also reduced the district’s expected revenue and will require matching expense adjustments.
He told the board most of the state funds that had been delayed began arriving this week and that the district’s auditor advised recording transfers before the end of the fiscal year. Directors asked whether prior motions already authorized the transfers and the business officer said the existing motion stood on its own.
No budget votes were taken at the meeting; the presentation was framed as informational ahead of future budget work.
