Summary
Trustees approved the FY26 amended budget — reflecting a 146‑student Q1 enrollment decline and $1.68M revenue reduction — and accepted a five‑year capital improvement plan aligned to audited FY25 balances.
At its Dec. 12 meeting the Lyon County School District Board of Trustees adopted amendments to the FY26 budget and approved the district’s five‑year capital improvement plan.
CFO Liliana Camacho Poco said the FY26 amended budget reflects a Q1 enrollment decline of 146 students and an associated revenue decrease of $1,680,000. She noted the district’s conservative budgeting left the general fund with an audited ending balance roughly $1,050,000 above projections, which helped absorb the enrollment‑driven revenue loss.
"Pursuant to NRS 354, prior to January 1 each school district must adopt an amendment to its final budget to reflect changes in revenue from average daily enrollment," Camacho Poco reminded the board. She said adjustments in the budget were limited and chiefly updated opening balances to match FY25 audited actuals.
Trustees praised the conservative fiscal approach and the district’s ability to absorb the enrollment change without cutting core services. The board voted unanimously to adopt the amended budget and to approve the FY26 five‑year capital improvement plan, which includes projects previously presented and anticipates future bond sales.
What happens next: projects on the capital plan will be developed to bid as prices are refined; staff will continue monitoring enrollment and report budget impacts to the board.
