George Trieb, the district's Business and Operations Manager, presented an initial FY'26 budget planning timeline and baseline assumptions. He listed expected increases across major categories including salaries and benefits, transportation, food services, supplies, utilities and technology, and called out a roof repair for MBS that is currently in the draft FY'26 budget.
Superintendent Amy Minor complemented the financial overview by presenting enrollment projections based on McKibben Demographics that show steady growth for the district over the next decade, which the board said will keep class sizes toward the upper limits of Vermont's Education Quality Standards. Trieb said the budget presentations at future meetings will include more detailed expenditure and revenue items and opportunities for board, staff and public input.
