Superintendent Hunt Graber delivered the budget message, framing the budget as an effort to preserve current programs and staffing while responding to funding changes. "The district serves approximately 1,074 students," he said, and described the district mission as prioritizing responsiveness and transparency.
Graber highlighted that state funding formulas can leave gaps for local districts: "While state funding is capped at approximately 11% of total enrollment, the district currently serves about 18% of students through special education programs," creating a local funding responsibility for services beyond state allocations. He closed by thanking board and community members and noting the administration will work with the board on adjustments as state and grant information is finalized.
