The Rochester Public School District board voted to adopt its FY2026–27 original budget on June 16, approving a total appropriation of $483,123,565.
The resolution lists $322,691,294 for the general fund; $41,794,341 for the building construction fund; $32,927,456 for debt service; $46,789,964 for the health trust fund; $16,632,332 for the community service fund; and smaller amounts for the FSA/HRA trust, workers’ compensation, dental trust and a post‑employment benefits trust. The board heard from Director of Finance Andy Croxton, who was present to answer questions.
Superintendent Pakou told the board the budget represents the culmination of a year‑long process with stakeholder input and noted the district completed a central office redesign and a school‑based budget redesign. Administrators said the plan included difficult reductions but preserved the district’s academic agenda.
Board members asked about the Q&A materials and were told responses were available in the supporting documents. The resolution carried on a voice vote with members signaling assent from the dais; detailed roll‑call tallies were not read into the record.
