District staff says final bond issuance and small state increase lifted FY2026–27 totals to $479M
Summary
Staff reported the district's operating budget is about $131.8 million and the full budget totals about $479.0 million, attributing the change to a final taxpayer-voted bond issuance and a modest state funding increase.
Jonathan told the board the district's current operating budget is $131,807,894.73 and the entire budget is $479,002,291.48. He said the major difference from last year's $477.6 million to $479.0 million stems from the final issuance of taxpayer-voted bond funding and a small increase in state funding; he also noted the general fund increased through transfers for maintenance, transportation and IT.
Board members asked follow-up questions about which lines had shifted and Jonathan said those backend numbers may change between the advertised version and the final hearing in September. He also indicated staff will try to move IT funding out of capital transfers before the September meeting.
