Spartan District 2 board adopts $147.3 million general fund budget for 2026–27
Summary
The board unanimously adopted a $147,300,000 general fund budget for fiscal year 2026–27, including a $2,000 increase to the teacher salary schedule and a 3% increase to other schedules; the finance office said any state budget changes would trigger an amendment in August.
The Spartan School District 2 board unanimously approved the district’s proposed 2026–27 general fund budget, which the finance office presented as a final draft totaling $147,300,000.
Brandy, the finance presenter, told the board the packet included general fund revenue and expenditure reports through May 2026 and a final draft of the 2026–27 budget. She said the district created separate LGIP (local government investment pool) accounts to separate general fund and capital fund interest, moved capital interest to the capital fund account, and adjusted other local revenue accordingly.
The budget also reflects personnel adjustments: three additional full‑time equivalent positions added on the expenditure side (one second‑grade teacher and two special‑education assistants) and proposed salary changes that include a $2,000 increase to the teacher salary schedule, a 3% increase to other schedules, and step increases where eligible.
Brandy summarized the fiscal totals: “The final proposed general fund budget for fiscal year 2627 totals $147,300,000.” She noted the state budget had not been finalized and said the board could expect an amendment at the August meeting if there are material changes to state projections.
A board member moved to approve the 2026–27 general fund budget, a second was made, and the motion passed on a unanimous voice vote; the transcript records no roll‑call tally.
The finance office will return with amendments if state funding projections change before the fiscal year begins.
