District staff previews adopted draft budget; board to consider approval later
Summary
District staff presented the Yuma Union High School District's adopted draft budget packet — saying figures match the prior proposal — and told trustees the packet will be returned as an action item for formal approval; the board adjourned without voting on the budget.
Yuma Union High School District staff walked trustees through the district's adopted draft budget packet and said the figures reflect no changes from the earlier proposal, while noting final revisions will be made later.
The presenter said the draft maintenance and operations total is reported as $102,000,738,130 and the capital total as $13,000,924,346, and that the packet includes a 2% increase. "Like I said, nothing has changed other than this is the adopted version," the staff member said. The packet also lists average teacher salaries, which the presenter said remain unchanged from last month.
The presenter reviewed additional pages showing the M&O breakdown, special education program budgets, auditing services costs, and a classroom site fund allocation for fiscal year 2027 of $883 per average daily membership (ADM). The presenter described the capital budget breakdown and said other funds include capital bonds; staff reported there are no new school facility projects this year and that the district did not levy taxes for adjacent ways.
Federal program and grant figures shown in the packet were described as provisional and based on amounts approved so far by the Arizona Department of Education; staff said those numbers will be revised when final approvals and figures are available. The presenter also noted that the final page lists fund balances and that many entries are estimates because the fiscal year has not yet started and the district is still closing out the current year.
When a trustee asked whether anything had changed between the proposal and the packet presented, the staff member replied that nothing substantive had changed. The presenter told trustees the packet "will be to approve as an action item" at a future meeting; no formal vote on the budget occurred at this session.
The meeting concluded with a procedural motion. A trustee moved to adjourn; minutes record the motion as made by Shelley and seconded by Christie. The board voted in favor and the chair announced, "Motion carries. We are adjourned until 05:15."
