Board adopts FY26/FY27 revenue and expenditure budgets and certifies levy population estimate
Summary
The board approved final and preliminary revenue/expenditure budgets for FY26 and FY27 and adopted a resolution certifying the population estimate for the 2026 payable 2027 community education levy, using state demographer figures.
The Annandale Public School District board voted to adopt the final revenue and expenditure budget for fiscal year 2026 and the preliminary budget for fiscal year 2027.
Rick, presenting the budget overview, said the district's general fund position improved from a previously projected midyear deficit to a fund balance of $479,000 for FY26. For FY27, after recent contract settlements and current staffing, presenters projected an increase of $218,000 to the general fund, putting the projected ending fund balance slightly above $1 million. Rick also noted building-construction revenue includes bond proceeds tied to chiller projects (about $4.8 million).
Separately the board approved a resolution certifying the population estimate to be used for the 2026 payable 2027 community education levy. The presentation noted that using state demographer figures yields 11,462 versus 10,859 if census figures were used. The population-estimate resolution was adopted (motion by Jen, second by Dylan). The budget approvals were adopted as presented (motion by Jen, second by Dylan).
Why it matters: these votes set the district's near-term fiscal plan and the population base used to calculate the community education levy, which affects levy computations and budget planning.
What's next: Budget figures may be updated in the fall once food service and community education numbers are finalized; the district will continue to monitor kindergarten enrollment and other variables that influence final totals.
