Cotter School District board adopts 2026–27 proposed budget and approves sample ballot
Summary
The Cotter School District Board of Education unanimously adopted the Proposed Budget of Expenditures with Tax Levy for fiscal year July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 and approved a related sample ballot at its Jan. 16 meeting following Superintendent Jayme Jones’ recommendation.
The Cotter School District Board of Education unanimously adopted the Proposed Budget of Expenditures with Tax Levy for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and approved a related sample ballot during its Jan. 16, 2025, meeting. Superintendent Jayme Jones reviewed the proposed 2026–2027 budget and recommended the board adopt the documents as presented.
Russel Duggins moved to adopt the proposed budget and approve the sample ballot; Jimmy Morgan seconded the motion. The board approved the motion unanimously (recorded at 7:23 p.m.). The minutes do not record further detail about revenue or expenditure line items in the proposal.
Why it matters: adoption of the budget with a tax levy sets the district’s spending plan and property tax request for the 2026–2027 fiscal year and moves administrative steps — including placement of the sample ballot — forward in the local process.
What’s next: the minutes record adoption of the budget and approval of the sample ballot; no additional hearings or amendments are noted in the Jan. 16 minutes.
