District staff says state-aid notices expected by March 12; proposes rescheduling April meetings
Summary
District staff told the board the governor's budget address is March 10 and “we get the state aid notices within 2 days of the budget address,” meaning notices should arrive by March 12; staff proposed moving April committee meetings and the regular board meeting to avoid a separate budget-only meeting.
District staff warned the board that a key variable for the 2026–27 budget is the state aid notification timeline. A staff member said, “we get the state aid notices within 2 days of the budget address, so we will have those by March 12,” and noted the governor’s budget address is scheduled for March 10.
To avoid an extra meeting between tentative budget preparations and the citizens’ budget hearing (scheduled April 1), staff proposed shifting the district’s April schedule: hold committee meetings on April 22 and the regular board meeting on April 29 so the committee and board calendar aligns with the state notification timeline. The proposal was discussed informally and no formal vote was recorded at the session. The staff member cautioned the timeline would leave only a short window to advance the tentative budget for board review and for public notice.
