Nyssa School District 26 adopts FY26 budget, sets fund-balance policy and greenlights turf project
Summary
On June 9 the Nyssa School District 26 board adopted its proposed fiscal 2026 budget and related resolutions, approved a GASB 54 fund‑balance policy, renewed PACE insurance and authorized a turf installation; all motions passed by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded.
The Nyssa School District 26 Board of Directors adopted the proposed fiscal year 2026 budget and related resolutions at its June 9 meeting, approved a GASB 54 fund‑balance policy, renewed its PACE insurance, and authorized the district’s planned turf installation.
Crystal presented the budget packet and said the budget committee had already voted to approve the proposal and that the packet before the board was unchanged from that earlier meeting. Crystal asked the board to adopt resolution 2026‑01, which bundles adoption of the FY26 budget, statutory appropriations and the property tax levy. "These are the numbers I have to stick by that we can't go over," she said, framing the appropriation resolution as the legal accounting structure required under Oregon budget law.
Board member Susie moved to adopt the budget and associated resolutions; another member seconded. Chair called for those in favor and the motion carried on a voice vote. The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the public transcript.
The board then adopted a GASB 54 resolution to designate certain fund balances for restricted future uses. Crystal said the policy will, among other actions, retain the balance in fund 275 as a PERS reserve and create a turf replacement fund (fund 295) to accumulate monies over the next decade. The motion to adopt GASB 54 was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
Separately, staff presented an insurance renewal under the PACE plan showing an approximate 18.73% premium increase. The board moved to renew PACE for the coming year and approved the renewal by voice vote.
District staff also presented a final turf project estimate and design. The survey and cost figures came in at the high end of the amount the board had budgeted; staff said they are pursuing small cost reductions where feasible but that the project as presented fits within available funds. The board discussed timeline, bleachers and lighting; a motion to proceed with the turf project was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
What the board approved tonight were formal motions and policy actions; the public record on June 9 did not include a roll‑call vote tally for any motion. Crystal noted the district maintains a strong financial position entering FY26 and that the district made its scheduled middle‑school bond debt service payment this month.
The board recessed into executive session after the regular business concluded. No executive‑session actions were reported on the public record.
