Deputy superintendent outlines governor's budget proposal and cautious outlook for county budget planning
Summary
Michelle Hansen briefed the board on the governor's budget proposal, highlighting economic uncertainty, Prop 98 trends, and an expected 2.43% COLA that will inform the county office's 2025–26 budget planning and assumptions.
Deputy Superintendent Michelle Hansen summarized the governor's budget proposal and its implications for county offices: a cautious outlook given inflation, economic uncertainty and potential impacts from recent wildfires. Hansen told trustees that county operations will see adjustments tied to the projected 2.43% cost‑of‑living adjustment (COLA) and reviewed Prop 98 trends affecting K‑12 funding.
Hansen emphasized that the figures remain subject to change through the May revision and legislative hearings, and said SCOE staff will analyze DART Board factors and finalize the 2025–26 proposed budget after receiving additional state detail. She recommended conservative planning given uncertainties tied to tax deadlines and disaster impacts on revenues.
