Board adopts 2026–27 budget, updates signatories and approves audit contract
Summary
Clovis Municipal Schools approved its 2026–27 budget after staff corrected revenue and enrollment figures, updated authorized financial signatories, approved petty cash allocations and adopted an audit contract of $94,167.50; salary schedule changes were also approved to add positions to administrative pay schedules.
The Clovis Municipal Schools Board of Education adopted the 2026–27 budget following a presentation by the business office that explained corrections to K‑12 funding and 80/120‑day enrollment calculations.
Finance staff reported corrected operational revenue figures and outlined projected function allocations, including instruction, student support services, administration, operations/maintenance and transportation. The district noted expected reliance on state SEG funding supplemented by federal grants and local revenues. The district also plans to sell part of a voter‑approved bond in October/November to begin early phases of the Clovis High School renovation project.
The board approved several finance items by motion and roll call: completion of the 2025–26 inventory certifications for 22 schools and departments; petty cash requests for booster and activity accounts; an update to authorized district financial signatories (removing two resigned staff and adding Mandy Carpenter and Kevin Summers); and salary schedule revisions that add a director of student support services to the administrative schedule and add an athletic trainer to the management schedule and stipend listings.
The board approved an audit services contract with Carr Riggs & Ingram for $94,167.50 (including gross receipts tax) to perform the district’s financial and federal single audit. The audit submission deadline remains November 15 per statute.
Following discussion, the board adopted the budget by roll call vote. Administration noted some numerical corrections to previously published drafts and said staff will continue to refine award letters and allocations as PED finalizes state allocations. The district’s OBMS total budget figure presented was approximately $160,345,510.85 across funds, and the board approved the operational and fund budgets as presented.
