District finance report: software outage resolved, spending near-complete and open enrollment revenue down
Summary
Business officer Heather reported the district had spent roughly 96% of its $10.9M budget with invoices still pending, and noted net open-enrollment revenue of $262,628 — a shortfall tied to a 39% decrease in open enrollment compared with recent years.
Heather, the district business representative, briefed the board on the 2025–26 fiscal year closeout and the status of several grants. She said the district’s financial software experienced outages but most reports are now available; as of the report the district had spent about 96% of its $10,900,000 budget ($10,600,000) with additional invoices expected to arrive before final closeout.
Heather reported net open-enrollment revenue of $262,628 and said the district saw about a 39% decrease in open enrollment relative to recent years, creating a notable variance against budget assumptions. She also summarized year-end grant claims, noting a special-ed high-cost claim that yielded about $27,000 and other grant receipts totaling roughly $26,000. The district audit is scheduled for Aug. 10–12; Heather asked trustees to expect a fuller year-end report at that time.
Trustees asked whether the open-enrollment trend mirrored neighboring districts; Heather said she would investigate and report back. Administration also noted that state aid estimates and other projections will be reviewed as DPI posts further updated figures.
