Summary
The Santa Fe South Charter School governing board approved the 2026–27 district budget after CFO Larry McFarlin said current enrollment of 5,312 students allows restoration of previously cut areas; approval was unanimous 5–0.
The Santa Fe South Charter School governing board voted unanimously May 18 to approve the 2026–27 district budget. Chief Financial Officer Larry McFarlin presented the plan and said current district enrollment is 5,312 students, a level that "allows the district to increase the budget in areas it had originally cut back in." The motion to adopt the budget was made by Dr. Ed Frick and seconded by Susan Agel and passed 5-0.
Board members and finance staff discussed enrollment-driven revenue assumptions and how restored funding will be prioritized during implementation. The board record does not list line-item allocations in the transcript; the CFO noted general plans to restore areas previously cut. The district will proceed under the adopted budget pending any further administrative approvals and routine financial reporting. The motion was recorded as passing 5-0.
