Orchard View board approves 2026–27 budgets, authorizes up to $3.6M cash-flow borrowing
Summary
The Orchard View Schools Board approved 2025–26 budget amendments and the 2026–27 proposed budgets, and authorized a State Aid Note allowing up to $3.6 million in cash-flow borrowing if needed; votes were unanimous 4–0.
The Orchard View Schools Board of Education approved amendments to the 2025–26 budgets and adopted the district's proposed budgets for 2026–27 at its June 29 meeting.
Director of Finance Heather Lorenz-Babcock opened the budget hearing and described the district's proposed spending plans. The board voted to approve June 2025–26 budget amendments across the General, Community Education, Food Service, Technology and Student Activity funds; the motion carried 4–0 (motion: J. Wydeck; support: L. Nelson). The board then approved the 2026–27 proposed budgets by the same margin (motion: L. Nelson; support: J. Wydeck).
Lorenz-Babcock also presented a State Aid Note cash-flow borrowing resolution that would permit the district to borrow up to $3,600,000 if interim cash flow required it. The board approved that resolution by roll-call vote: ayes L. Nelson, S. Horsly, J. Wydeck and T. Joppie; nays none (motion: J. Wydeck; support: L. Nelson).
The board approved a formal budget resolution as presented, again by unanimous vote (motion: L. Nelson; support: J. Wydeck). No member recorded dissent during the budget and borrowing votes.
The approvals conclude the board's formal budget actions for the fiscal year and authorize the superintendent and finance team to adopt the adopted spending plans and, if needed, to access short-term State Aid Note borrowing consistent with the approved resolution. The meeting record does not specify precise line-item changes in this summary; district financials for May 2026 were listed among the consent materials presented to the board.
Next procedural step: the board will operate under the adopted 2026–27 budgets and may exercise the borrowing authority only if cash-flow conditions require it and consistent with the approved resolution.
