Board adopts 2026–27 budget; staff expects possible state-driven revisions
Summary
Board approved the 2026–27 district budget after staff presentations and discussion of revenue assumptions. Staff noted state-level trailer bills could prompt a 45-day revision and said special education funding may provide approximately $540,000 in positive impact.
District staff presented the 2026–27 budget narrative and slide packet and recommended board approval while noting the state budget and any trailer bills could require midyear adjustments. Staff said the district budget assumed a 2.87% LCFF increase in one place but noted some components may effectively be 4.31% depending on final state action; staff estimated a special education funding change of roughly $540,000 that would relieve pressure on the general fund.
Trustees discussed using continuing budget committee meetings for oversight and transparency in both good and bad fiscal years; staff said if a significant difference emerges the county office would require a 45-day revision and the administration would bring major changes back to the board for review. The board moved to approve the budget and adopted it by roll call during the meeting.
