Board hears preliminary 2025–26 budget; staff estimate major revenue shifts
Summary
The board reviewed the proposed 2025–26 preliminary budget: staff said state aid exceeds $2 million, local tax revenue is a little over $800,000, and restricted federal grants are estimated near $106,000; the board noted final budget approval will occur in September.
District finance staff reviewed the preliminary 2025–26 budget, explaining revenue and expenditure changes driven by new students and staffing. Staff reported more than $2,000,000 in state aid and a little over $800,000 in local tax revenue; restricted federal grants (consolidated, Title I and Title II) were estimated at about $106,000 in total.
Trustees discussed that the general fund is largely personnel costs (staff salaries make up over 90% of general fund spending) and that state funding composes roughly three‑quarters of the district’s general fund. Staff emphasized the budget is proposed and that final levy requests and formal approval occur in September. "Total, we're gonna get about 106,000 in grants," a staff member said during the hearing, and the board encouraged questions ahead of the September finalization.
