Utica Community Schools adopts Budget Adjustment I for 2025–26
Summary
The Board approved Budget Adjustment I for FY2025–26 to update revenue and expenditure estimates across General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects funds; the resolution passed unanimously (5–0) on Feb. 9, 2026.
The Utica Community Schools Board of Education voted Feb. 9 to adopt Budget Adjustment I, updating the district’s fiscal 2025–26 revenue and expenditure projections across the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects funds.
Dr. Smolenski, Board of Education President, presided over the vote after William Holbrook, Assistant Superintendent for Business and Employee Services, presented the adjustments and noted they reflect updated student membership counts and state and federal grant funding. Holbrook said the item was reviewed by the Finance Subcommittee and discussed at a special board meeting on Feb. 4.
The motion — “that the Board of Education adopt the Budget Adjustment I Resolution for 2025‑2026 for the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds as submitted to take effect on February 9, 2026” — was moved by Dr. Meyer and supported by Fitzpatrick. Mrs. Rankin called the roll. Ayes: Meyer, Fitzpatrick, Austerman, Rankin, Smolenski. Nays: None. Motion carried 5‑0.
Why it matters: the adjustment updates the district’s spending and revenue assumptions to match enrollment and grant realities mid‑year, allowing administrators to manage program costs, staffing and capital projects with current data.
Next steps: the resolution is effective Feb. 9, 2026; administration will use the revised estimates in ongoing financial reporting and planning.
