Summary
The Ionia County Intermediate School District board unanimously approved the 2026–27 original budgets for the General Fund, Special Education Fund, Vocational Education Fund and Student School Activity Fund at its June 11 meeting, setting appropriations and projected fund balances for the coming fiscal year.
The Ionia County Intermediate School District Board of Education unanimously approved original budgets for fiscal year 2026–27 at its June 11 regular meeting.
Collectively, the district set appropriations across multiple funds. The General Fund resolution lists $8,805,698 as the amount available to appropriate and a projected General Fund balance of $1,367,410 on June 30, 2027. The Special Education Fund shows $35,401,643 available with a projected fund balance of $6,674,204. The Vocational Education Fund lists $3,914,773 available to appropriate, with a projected fund balance of $1,037,899. The Student School Activity Fund shows $254,032 available for appropriation and a projected balance of $159,032.
Board President Linda Hoxie-Green moved to approve the 2026–27 Original Budgets, a motion supported by Brian Talbot; the roll call vote passed unanimously. Finance Director Marvin Van Nortwick had previously presented the budget details during the Truth-in-Budgeting meeting, and the board adopted the appropriation resolutions as presented.
Why it matters: the adopted budgets set spending limits for instruction, support services, and payments to other schools and entities for the coming fiscal year and establish projected fund balances that district administrators will monitor through the year.
What’s next: the board said changes to appropriations will require future board approval, consistent with the district's budgetary policy.
