Tempe Union board adopts 2026–27 expenditure budget; splits separate vote on H‑2 (3–1)
Summary
The Tempe Union High School District governing board adopted its 2026–27 expenditure budget and approved grouped H items by voice vote; it took item H‑2 separately and approved it 3–1. The board was told the adopted budget matches the previously published proposed budget.
The Tempe Union High School District Governing Board adopted the district's 2026–27 expenditure budget after the district presenter said the adopted version reflects no changes from the proposed budget published earlier to meet Arizona Department of Education publication requirements.
The presenter explained that the average daily membership baseline used to build the budget hadn't changed, and that the adopted budget was posted on the ADE and district websites to satisfy the publication requirement. "So tonight, we're just adopting the budget to allow us to submit so that's, again, no changes from the proposed budget to the adopted budget version," the presenter said.
Board members agreed to vote on items H‑1, H‑3, H‑4 and H‑5 as a group; those items passed on a single motion. The board then took item H‑2 separately and approved it on a subsequent roll-call-style vote, with the tally recorded as 3 in favor and 1 opposed.
There were no public speakers on the budget item during the public hearing. The board did not present substantive changes between the proposed and adopted versions when the presenter reviewed the materials during the meeting.
Procedural steps taken at the meeting included publishing the proposed budget on the ADE and district websites and a formal board adoption at the reconvened meeting.
The board moved on after the adoption; the district will submit the adopted budget to the appropriate state authority as required.
