Board members heard an update from the finance committee that the district's current-year deficit has narrowed. Committee members said they are waiting on state revenue expected in June and are assembling a conservative draft budget for 2026-27.
The administration reported check and payroll ranges and read a total amount of $1,158,149.15 into the record for the period presented.
