Business manager reports steady enrollment, revised budgets show expenditures outpacing revenues
Summary
Foley Public School District business manager Ryan Frederick reported roughly steady enrollment (adjusted count ~1,803.32) and presented revised budget figures through April 30, 2026: districtwide revenues projected ~$32.9M and expenditures ~$38.6M, with year-to-date revenues ~$23.3M and expenditures ~$30.2M.
Ryan Frederick, the district's business manager, told the board the district's enrollment is holding relatively steady and walked through revised budget numbers as of April 30, 2026.
Frederick reported a total projected general fund revenue of about $26.5 million with roughly $19.3 million received through April (about 72.9% of budgeted revenues). He said districtwide revised revenues are projected at approximately $32.9 million and revised expenditures at approximately $38.6 million, with year-to-date revenues of about $23.3 million and expenditures of about $30.2 million through April 30.
On enrollment, Frederick said the three schools together represented about 1,853 students and, after reductions for PSEO and the ALC programs, the district's adjusted count was 1,803.32. "Overall, I would say we're holding pretty stable, with enrollment throughout the district," he said.
Frederick noted construction and indoor-air-quality work remain a significant area of activity and expense; he reported approximately $5.8 million in construction expenditures recorded for April tied to ongoing projects. He also said salary and benefits continue to represent the majority of district costs and are tracking near budgeted expectations.
Board members asked clarifying questions about enrollment trends and the budgetary implications of declining counts. One board member noted that midyear student departures affect per-pupil funding and emphasized that enrollment figures are part of larger budgetary decisions.
Next steps: Finance staff will continue to monitor revenues and expenditures through the fiscal year end and report back to the board; the finance committee and staff will use enrollment projections when finalizing next year's budget plans.
