Echo School District 5 adopts 2025–26 budget, sets $4.6747 tax rate
Summary
The Echo School District 5 board adopted a $12,596,638 budget for 2025–26 and set an operating tax rate of $4.6747 per $1,000 assessed value; the package allocates $8.77M to the general fund and includes $380,000 for bonds.
Echo School District 5's board voted to adopt the district's 2025–26 budget and set an operating tax rate of $4.6747 per $1,000 of assessed value.
Board member moved the adoption and the motion carried by voice vote. The board approved a total budget authorization of $12,596,638, broken down as $8,766,638 for general fund operations, $2,178,000 for special funds, $1,370,000 for debt service and $282,000 for construction. The motion to adopt was read aloud by a board member before the vote.
Why it matters: adopting the budget and tax rate determines revenue available for classroom staffing, special programs and capital work for the coming fiscal year. District staff said the budget reflects recent grant awards and routine adjustments and that no additional general‑fund supplemental was required.
Board member (the motion maker) read the resolution on the record: “I move to approve resolution 25‑02, adopting the budget for Echo School District 5R fiscal year 2025–26 ... at a tax rate of $4.6747 per thousand of assessed value ... for a total budget of $12,596,638.” The board then approved the motion by voice vote.
Looking ahead: staff will proceed with implementing the adopted appropriations and will present any required budget monitoring items to the board during the fiscal year.
