Dufur board hears first state school‑fund estimate; staff flag $4.26M payout figure
Summary
District business staff presented the first legislative/biennium estimate and its local impact: the packet shows an estimated state school fund payout near $4,260,000 next year and explained how ADM, carve‑outs and transportation bands affect the district budget.
District business staff briefed trustees on the Oregon state school‑fund estimate and what it means for local budgeting.
"It shows us $4,260,000 in state school fund payout next year," staff explained to the board while walking through the biennium breakdown, carve‑outs and the district’s ADM assumptions. The presenter noted the biennium total used by the state and how local revenue and membership (including special‑education counts) feed into the estimate.
Staff described transportation reimbursement bands and how district transportation expenditures could move the reimbursement rate from 70% toward 80% if certain thresholds are met. Trustees asked for comparisons to last year’s estimate and staff said the updated numbers will be used to set the preliminary budget; multiple updates are expected before final adoption.
Next steps: staff will continue to refine estimates, incorporate local property tax and grant numbers and return with updated projections ahead of the formal budget process.
