Board approves FY25–26 final budget, posts policies and sets tentative FY26–27 rate
Summary
The board approved the FY25–26 final budget as presented and adopted several policies; it opened and closed public hearings on the FY26–27 tentative budget and voted to approve the proposed FY26–27 budget with a recommended tax rate of 0.002157 (excluding the basic and charter levies).
At the meeting’s business segment the board moved several routine items and conducted public hearings on budget matters.
After reading the consent agenda (minutes, PBIS report, transportation easement, software and personnel contracts), a board member moved to approve the consent agenda and the motion carried by voice vote. The board also posted a set of policies for public review and adopted others after the required posting period.
The board opened and closed public hearings on the FY25–26 final budget and the FY26–27 tentative budget. A motion to approve the final budget for fiscal year 2025–26 (as amended and as included in the budget document) was made and carried on a voice vote. The board then moved to approve the proposed budget for fiscal year 2026–27 with a recommended tax rate of 0.002157; staff clarified that the recommended rate does not include the state‑certified basic levy or charter levy, and the board reserved the right to adjust the final rate if the certified tax rate changes.
Why it matters: Approval of the final budget governs district spending for FY25–26 and a proposed tax rate frames the district’s tentative revenue assumptions for FY26–27; policy postings begin formal review periods required by district rule.
What’s next: The budgets and adopted policies will be reflected in the district’s records; staff will follow up with any necessary adjustments if the certified tax rate changes.
