Casa Grande board approves revision to 2025–26 budget after brief public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing and presentation of line-item changes, the Casa Grande Elementary District board authorized a revision to the 2025–26 budget that reflects an increase in special-education weighting and a roughly $1.39 million increase in MNO; the vote was unanimous.
The Casa Grande Elementary District board on Tuesday authorized a revision to its 2025–26 budget following a brief public hearing and a staff presentation of updated revenue and carry-forward figures. The motion to authorize the revision passed by unanimous roll-call vote.
District finance staff told the board that the district’s estimated weighted regular-education units fell by 1.4 while weighted special-education units increased by 88.5. Presenter Mr. McCain said those changes, together with an $841,000 increase in the budget-balance carry forward and an additional $219,743 in capital carry forward, produced an overall increase of $1,390,000 in MNO funding in the revised budget. Mr. McCain also said he had corrected a calculation error in the presentation and provided an updated bottom-line capital figure verbally.
The board held the public hearing as part of the formal revision process; no members of the public asked questions during the hearing. Following the presentation, a board member moved to authorize the revision and another seconded the motion. Mrs. Gill called the roll; all voting members recorded "Aye." The motion passed.
Votes at a glance: the board adopted the meeting agenda and later approved the consent agenda (both by unanimous roll call), and it voted unanimously to authorize the 2025–26 budget revision as presented.
The district’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 13, 2026, at 6 p.m., where the final statutorily required budget revision (noted by staff as required on May 15) will be presented with final numbers, according to Mr. McCain.
The presentation and hearing focused on adjustments to weighting and carry-forward balances; staff did not present additional line-by-line programmatic cuts or additions during the hearing. Several numeric items were described in the presentation (for example, the 1.4 decrease in weighted regular-education units and the 88.5 increase in weighted special-education units); where the unit type or exact pupil-count equivalent was not specified on the slides, staff reported the figures as stated.
