Board adopts FY26 budget; fund 1 projected "in the black" under current assumptions
Summary
Board approved the FY26 district budget after a staff presentation that projected Fund 1 moving into a positive unassigned balance under current assumptions, while noting transportation contract negotiations remain unresolved and will affect final figures.
The Kenyon-Wanamingo School District board adopted the fiscal year 2026 budget after a presentation by staff that built projections on an ADM of 620 (including 12 projected ECSE students). Dawn told the board the district— fund 1-focused SOD calculation shows the unassigned fund percentage at about 11.4% on the worksheet presented, and staff expect the district to be "in the black" next year if current assumptions hold.
"So we are projecting that we are going to be in the black again next year," a staff presenter said while explaining fund balances and restricted-fund usage. The presentation flagged transportation contract negotiations as an unresolved variable; the board approved the FY26 budget by voice vote (motion passed 5-0).
