The Chandler Unified School District governing board on Dec. 10 approved Revision No. 2 to the district’s 2025–26 expenditure budget, a limited set of adjustments that increased the district’s combined funds by about $4.7 million — from roughly $673 million to $678 million.

Ms. Salana Berry, the district budget lead, told the board the December revision is required by statute after the Arizona Department of Education finalizes average daily membership (ADM) and other state calculations. She described a net increase to Maintenance & Operations (M&O) of approximately $4,896,580 stemming from updated carryover calculations and state-aid adjustments, and a larger unrestricted capital carryover reflecting bond cash-flow decisions.
