Summary
LaCrosse School District staff presented a four-year 2026–27 budget summary with detailed object-level expenditures; the board moved to approve Resolution 26-27-01 as presented and kept contingency lines for inflation and higher travel costs.
LaCrosse School District staff presented the proposed 2026–27 budget summary and answered board questions before the board moved to approve Resolution 26-27-01. Business manager (S6) read object-level expenditures for the coming year, including "certificate salaries, $1,111,330; classified salaries, $528,978; benefits and taxes, $681,294; supplies and instructional resources, $418,829; purchase services, $572,864; travel, $17,700; capital outlay, $3,550." The presentation noted extra contingency in travel and purchase-services lines to account for inflation.
Board members discussed whether contingency levels were appropriate and confirmed this was a first reading of the four-year summary. Committee member (S3) moved to approve Resolution 26-27-01 adoption of the four-year budget summary and Chair (S4) seconded; the motion was presented for approval and advanced for the board’s next adoption step. The discussion included a plan for staff to check comparable districts and for management to refine contingency figures before final adoption.
