Romeo board approves FY26 budget amendment after presentation showing stable year‑end balances

The Romeo Community Schools Board of Education approved a FY26 budget amendment at its Dec. 15 regular meeting following a presentation of year‑end and revised 2025–26 financial numbers.

Administrators presented 2024–25 year‑end general fund revenues and expenditures, beginning and ending fund balances and the original and amended enrollment assumptions used to produce the revised 2025–26 budget. President Rachel Eichhorst thanked Business Services staffer Vicki Laseke and said the district is "in a good financial position." The board voted on the amendment as part of a slate of resolutions recorded on the meeting agenda; tallies provided on the record show 7 Ayes and 0 Nays for the items listed.

Why it matters: The amendment adjusts the district’s operating plan for the upcoming year and incorporates updated enrollment and revenue assumptions that affect staffing, course offerings and capital planning. The board’s action also occurred alongside several bond‑funded project approvals and technology upgrades discussed at the same meeting.

The board’s recorded business actions include a formal entry for "Business Services Resolution #112 – FY26 Budget Amendment" on the agenda; the transcript does not include verbatim motion text for the amendment nor the names of the motion mover and seconder for that specific resolution on the public record. The measure was included among resolutions approved with recorded vote tallies.

Next steps: The board indicated the budget amendment will be incorporated into district financial records and used for upcoming planning; no further public hearing on the amendment was scheduled during the meeting.
