Dufur SD 29 board adopts 2025–26 budget, ratifies 3% increase for certified staff
Summary
The Dufur SD 29 board voted June 23 to adopt the 2025–26 budget (Resolution 25‑01), ratified a previously negotiated 3% wage increase for certified staff, and approved related contingency transfers and supplemental appropriations tied to new grants.
The Dufur SD 29 Board of Directors voted unanimously June 23 to adopt the districts 2025–26 budget (resolution referenced as 25‑01) after minor adjustments to revenue estimates and state allocations. "We're looking at a $478,000 ending fund balance," Mrs. Turner said while presenting the financial packet, and board members confirmed the revisions reflected updated assessed values and additional state receipts.
Board members also ratified a 3% wage increase for certified staff that had been negotiated earlier. Chair (speaker 1) asked for a motion and, following a second, the board approved the ratification by voice vote. Mrs. Turner outlined three related budget actions: contingency transfers to cover added instructional staff costs, transfers into special-revenue accounts to reflect recent grants, and a supplemental appropriation of approximately $167,500 to accommodate additional Preschool Promise funds. The board approved those financial motions in aggregate.
The board discussed timing and legal posting requirements for supplemental budgets in small, weekly‑newspaper communities and directed staff to follow up on local budget‑law procedures. The chair said the district would continue pursuing grants while keeping proper documentation for any mid‑year budget adjustments.
