Board adopts 2025–26 budget after needs assessment and staff review
Summary
After staff and principals reviewed building needs and district assessments, the Santa Fe Trail School District board voted to adopt the 2025–26 budget as presented. The motion cited a needs assessment and state assessment review; staff noted operational adjustments and required fund transfers.
A board member moved to adopt the district's 2025–26 budget as presented and the motion passed after a second and an affirmative vote.
During the budget hearing staff described transfers made at fiscal year end to ensure cash in specific funds, noted a 5% staff raise effective with the September payroll and explained that special-education costs required end-of-year transfers. Staff said they worked with Greenbush and sought input from KSDE when preparing the budget; they also described tax collection rates around 88–89 percent and continuing efforts to pursue grant revenue.
A board member, speaking during the motion, described the budget as "a reasonable and responsible budget" developed using the needs assessment and state assessment information. The board then approved the budget and proceeded to the consent agenda.
