Preston School Board approves FY25 operational budget after staff presentation
Summary
The Preston Joint School District board approved its FY25 operational budget after Finance Director Shelby McKenna outlined funding “buckets,” revenue sources and items such as driver’s ed, bussing and ESSR funds; the motion passed unanimously.
The Preston Joint School District #201 board voted to approve the district’s FY25 operational budget following a presentation by finance staff.
Finance Director Shelby McKenna reviewed the budget’s major “buckets,” answering trustees’ questions about driver’s education, plant facility funds, bus purchases, ESSER allocations and Medicaid reimbursements. The document presented by McKenna itemized projected revenues and expenditures for the general fund and program funds. Trustees recorded no dissent to the motion to adopt the budget.
Why it matters: Adopting the operational budget sets spending limits for core programs and positions for the coming fiscal year and authorizes staff to implement the district’s priorities. The board’s vote followed budget hearings and discussion during the June–July meetings, where details on how one-time and recurring revenues (including ESSER and state sources) will be used were spelled out.
