Lake Shore board approves first amended 2025-26 budget across multiple funds
Summary
The Lake Shore Board of Education unanimously approved first amended 2025-26 operating budgets covering the General Fund, multiple bond-debt funds and capital-projects funds; the business office said estimates were used because the state budget was delayed.
The Lake Shore Board of Education on Feb. 23 unanimously approved the first amended 2025-26 operating budgets covering the General Fund, Adult Education, Food Service, various student activity and bond-debt funds, and multiple capital-projects funds.
Board member Susan DeLong moved to approve the amendment, and Amber Hildebrand seconded; the motion passed 6-0 with one member absent. Business office staff member Shelly Larsen presented the amendments and told the board the budget figures were estimates because "the State of Michigan had not passed their budget in a timely manner." Larsen also said preliminary spring student enrollment is 3,060 and that she would provide final fall and spring counts to the board by email.
Board members praised the business office's transparency and planning given the late state budget. Ken Gulock thanked the business office for their transparency, and President Kurt Ziegler said it showed good planning ahead.
The board's approval authorizes the administration to implement the amended appropriations across the listed funds for the current fiscal year. No additional details on specific line-item changes were provided in the meeting minutes; the business office served as the presenter at the agenda item.
