Gilmanton School District presents 2025–26 budget; board discusses special-education coding and enrollment costs
Summary
District Administrator Kory Rud presented the Gilmanton School District’s proposed 2025–26 budget on Oct. 27, comparing it with 2024–25 unaudited figures; board members discussed a WUFAR coding change for Special Education and asked about costs of open-enrollment versus voucher students before adjourning at 7:19 p.m.
Board of Education President Daren Bauer called the Gilmanton School District budget hearing to order at 7:02 p.m. on Oct. 27, 2025, and turned the meeting over to District Administrator Kory Rud, who presented the district’s Budget Publication for 2025–26.
Kory Rud described the composition of each fund and the key line items in the proposed budget, and he compared those line items with the district’s 2024–25 unaudited amounts, explaining the reasons for the differences. The transcript does not include specific dollar amounts or line-item figures; the presentation is recorded as a description of changes rather than a readout of totals.
The hearing was opened for discussion. Participants discussed a WUFAR coding change affecting Special Education accounting; the transcript records the topic was raised and discussed but does not attribute the remarks to a specific speaker or record a decision or next step on the coding change. Meeting participants also asked a question about the district’s financial costs for open-enrollment students compared with voucher students; the record shows the question but does not include an answer or staff direction.
Jackson Serum moved to adjourn the hearing at 7:19 p.m.; Lance Peterson seconded the motion. The motion carried by voice vote. Clerk Jeremiah Bauer recorded the minutes.
The transcript of this hearing records the presentation and the items discussed but does not document a formal vote on or adoption of the 2025–26 budget, nor does it include the numeric budget figures or a staff response to the enrollment-cost question. Any follow-up actions, additional documentation, or specific dollar amounts were not specified in the recorded minutes.
