Baboquivari Unified trustees review and move to adopt preliminary FY2027 expenditure budget
Summary
At its July 13 meeting, the Baboquivari Unified School District governing board heard the CFO present the FY2027 expenditure budget, including a $9,565,703 revenue control limit and an $11,158,255 projected general budget limit, and moved to adopt the proposal after discussion of conservative assumptions and carryforward amounts.
The Baboquivari Unified School District #40 governing board considered and moved to adopt the district’s proposed FY2027 expenditure budget at its July 13 meeting.
CFO Clementina Carlo told the board that the district filed preliminary forms issued by the Auditor General’s office and that “the revenue control limit for fiscal year 20 27 is $9,565,703,” with district additional assistance of $608,525 and a projected carryforward of $984,027, which she said together yield a general budget limit projection of $11,158,255. Carlo said the district must work from the preliminary forms and cannot make substantive changes until final forms are issued.
The budget presentation broke the district’s resources into standard fund classifications — maintenance and operations, classroom site fund, district additional assistance, special revenue and instructional improvement funds — and showed modest year‑to‑year increases in several areas. Carlo reported classroom site fund projections of roughly $1.6 million for FY2027 and noted expected decreases in federal grant dollars tied to timing and encumbrances.
Superintendent Diaz framed the numbers in operational terms, praising staff and grant‑writing efforts that helped the district remain open and keep staff despite statewide closures. “We were very conservative the last couple of years,” he said, noting investments in transportation and facilities while urging continued fiscal caution.
Board members asked clarifying questions and praised district staff for conservative planning and grant pursuit; the board then moved the FY2027 budget into the action portion of the meeting. The agenda shows a motion to approve the FY2027 expenditure budget was made and seconded during the action items.
Why it matters: The budget sets how the district will prioritize staff compensation, transportation, facility work and instructional supports for 2026–27. The CFO stressed that projections assume a state minimum funding increase used for conservative planning and that final numbers could change when final AG forms are released.
Next steps: The board’s motion advanced the budget for formal adoption on the action agenda. The record of the meeting shows motions and seconds on the item; specific roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
