Board approves 2025–26 budget revisions and adopts proposed 2026–27 budget; members seek CTEC financial clarity
Summary
The board approved 2025–26 budget revisions that increased the unappropriated balance and adopted the proposed 2026–27 budget. Trustees asked finance staff for a follow-up breakdown on CTEC enrollment, general fund contributions and grant offsets.
Business services staff (Mr. Otto, speaker 16) presented budget revisions for 2025–26 showing post‑interim adjustments: revenues rose by roughly $19 million while expenditures increased less, improving the projected unappropriated balance from about 11% to approximately 20%. Mr. Otto told trustees that some carryover and grant timing influence the figures and offered to provide more detail on restricted vs. unrestricted funds.
The board then reviewed and approved the proposed 2026–27 Fresno County Superintendent of Schools budget. Trustees probed how much of the CTEC budget was supported by grants versus general fund augmentation and asked for a comparative breakdown of 2025–26 actuals vs. the 2026–27 proposal; staff agreed to return with a detailed report. Roll‑call votes carried on both the revision and the proposed budget approvals.
