Chippewa Falls board approves year‑end budget plan; auditors working remotely
Summary
District finance staff presented June 30 year‑end revenue and expenditure reports, noting higher medical costs and timing differences; the board approved the year‑end budget plan after a roll‑call vote and was told final state aid figures will arrive in October.
District finance staff presented the district’s year‑end budget reports as of June 30 and recommended leaving the budget as presented while auditors complete their review.
Chad Trobridge reviewed revenue sources — state aid, property taxes and ESSER/ESSER‑related funds — and highlighted areas of variance: medical costs in active and retiree categories trended high and some projects pushed into the next fiscal year because of weather delays. He said unfilled positions produced some savings but that stop‑loss reimbursements and timing differences can shift revenues after July 1.
"Overall, we were projecting to be slightly overbudget in revenue and that's where we were," Trobridge said, adding that auditors were working remotely this week and the administration would return in August if material issues arose.
A board member moved to approve the year‑end budget plan as presented; the motion was seconded and the clerk conducted a roll‑call vote. The motion carried as recorded in the transcript; no amended motions were introduced.
The presentation emphasized that the district will not know its final state aid figure until October 15 and that any necessary restatements will be addressed in the fall budget report.
