Board receives finance update and advances 2026–27 budget in first reading; multiple routine votes pass unanimously
Summary
CFO Miss Morgan reported current‑year spending and local revenue; the board unanimously approved the first reading of the proposed 2026–27 budget and also voted unanimously on several routine agenda items and minutes. The board noted pending state legislation could affect final numbers.
Chief Financial Officer Miss Morgan presented the district’s monthly finance report during the May meeting and the board advanced the proposed 2026–27 budget in a unanimous first reading.
Morgan reported that of the roughly $11.9 million current‑year budget approximately $10.3 million had been expended with a little over $1.6 million remaining and that roughly $9.2 million in local revenues had been received to date. The CFO also noted the district continues to receive a low risk‑assessment score from the state fiscal authorities; the board commended the finance office for that result.
Superintendent Dr. Henry explained the first reading is the district’s normal practice to advance a proposed budget for legislative engagement and public review; he said the board would receive further updates and additional readings before final adoption. The proposed amount presented during the meeting was given as approximately $12,374,893 for the 2026–27 school year; presenters cautioned that pending state legislative action could alter final allocations.
On routine business the board also unanimously approved the meeting agenda, moved out of executive session into open session, and separately approved minutes for four April meetings (April 2; April 13, with corrections noted; April 30 workshop; and April 30 joint meeting with county council). All motions on the floor that required votes passed unanimously.
Next procedural steps: staff said line‑item details are available on request and the board plans additional budget readings at future meetings ahead of final adoption.
