Cabell County board adopts FY27 operating budget, incorporates state 3% pay raise
Summary
The board voted May 19 to approve the FY27 operating budget and related financial items, including salary schedules that reflect a state‑provided 3% pay increase; the district’s detailed 148‑page budget packet and executive summary were presented before the voice vote.
The Cabell County Board of Education approved the district’s FY27 operating budget and associated financial items at its May 19 meeting after staff presented the packet and a one‑page summary the board will file with state officials.
Superintendent Tim Hardesty and a district finance official (referred to in the meeting as Mr. Rockin) told the board the full budget packet is 148 pages and that the board is voting on the condensed summary required for filing. The district also reviewed the treasurer’s report, vouchers payable for April, budget supplements and transfers, and salary schedules for the coming school year.
The adopted salary schedules incorporate the 3% pay increase provided by the state, the board noted. The district’s finance presentation explained that the one‑page summary is the actionable item for the board’s vote and that the full packet is available to the public on request.
A motion to approve the financial items was made and seconded; the board approved by voice vote with ayes recorded and no opposition noted on the transcript.
Why it matters: Adopting the FY27 operating budget and salary schedules sets the district’s spending plan for the upcoming year and implements the state pay increase for staff. The district must file a budget with the state by the statutory deadline on May 30.
What to watch: The transcript cites the public availability of the full packet and an executive summary intended to help residents understand high‑level allocations; any subsequent budget supplements, transfers, or amendments will be posted in board materials.
