Pleasant Hill SD 1 budget presenters outline roughly $13.0M in state formula revenue for 2026–27
Summary
At a budget orientation, district staff told the Pleasant Hill SD 1 budget committee it expects about $13,000,747 in total state formula revenue for 2026–27 and roughly $9,530,000 after local revenues, explained transportation and special-education reimbursements, and set the public hearing calendar.
Pleasant Hill SD 1 budget staff told the district’s budget committee the first-pass estimate for 2026–27 state formula revenue is about $13,000,747, which after deducting projected local revenue would produce roughly $9,530,000 in state/general-purpose funding for the coming year.
At the orientation, the Business manager said the budget “is a financial plan of estimated expenditures and revenues for the school year” and stressed public transparency: “The budget process is designed to be a joint effort between the people affected by the budget.” The presenter walked through the district’s major funds (general, special revenue, debt service) and explained the state formula drivers, including per-student rates, a teacher-experience adjustment and small-high-school corrections.
Why it matters: the formula-driven estimates determine how much the district can budget for staffing, transportation and special-education services. The presenter cautioned that the figures are preliminary and subject to prior-year adjustments and state recalculations.
Staff highlighted several specifics the committee will track: the district is estimating roughly 945 students for 2026–27; transportation reimbursement is expected to cover about 70% of eligible costs (an estimated $560,000); and the teacher-experience adjustment currently reduces the district’s rate by about 0.77 percentage points compared with the state average. The presenter said small-high-school and special-education high-cost adjustments also affect per-student funding.
Board members asked for clarification about ADM (average daily membership) versus current headcount; the Business manager explained ADM is the state’s weighted enrollment figure used in the formula and can differ from the district’s actual daily headcount because it reflects prior reporting and weighting rules.
Staff gave the committee a calendar of next steps: a public notice was published May 3; the first budget committee meeting to receive the superintendent’s budget message and hear public comment is scheduled for May 10; staff listed a procedural review/approval milestone on June 5, a public hearing (food budget and board adoption) on June 15, and reminded the committee that state law requires final adoption by June 30.
The presenter emphasized the estimates do not yet include final ABM/prior-year adjustments or last-minute local-revenue recalculations and that the figures will be refined as the state issues updated estimates. The district will publish the printed budget and online materials before the May 10 committee meeting, staff said.
The budget committee will revisit these numbers at the May meetings; a community budget orientation was also announced for the upcoming Monday (referred to in the meeting as “the eighteenth”).
