District says state's '2nd calc' reduced projected revenue by $13 million
Summary
Deputy Superintendent Sellers told the board the state's second funding calculation reduced projected revenue by about $13 million and altered some program assignments, leading to changes between the preliminary and tentative budgets.
Deputy Superintendent Sellers informed the board that the district received the state's second calculation ("2nd calc") for FY 2026–27 about a week and a half before the hearing and that the updated calculation generated material changes between the preliminary workshop and the tentative budget. Sellers said expenditures decreased by roughly $3.7 million and revenue decreased by about $13.0 million, primarily because of the state's revised net funding and adjustments related to program assignments and charter FTE counts.
Board members asked about the timing of the 2nd calc and whether the district had seen it earlier; Sellers and others noted the 2nd calc is typically released close to the statutory deadline (around July 19) and that the district received it in a routine timeframe. Sellers said the team updated the tentative budget and ran the statutory advertisements on short notice to reflect the changes.
