Washtucna board: revenues steady but reserves may dip $100K–$150K
Summary
Board members said revenues look roughly the same as last year and characterized estimates as conservative; one board member projected a year-end reserve draw between about $100,000 and $150,000 if conditions don’t improve.
Board member Rob led the budget review and told colleagues, "We still will be doing a little bit of deficit spending if everything comes out better than last year." He said the district's revenues are "approximately the same as they were last year," and that conservative revenue estimates and enrollment uncertainty informed the projections.
Rob estimated a year-end dip into cash reserves "somewhere between a 100 and 0.25 and a $150,000," characterizing that as a smaller draw than last year's more pessimistic forecast. Katie, a district staff member, said the district had been "very conservative with enrollment numbers and revenue estimates," noting some grant funding remains uncertain and that August expenditures will be high due to final sports billing, property and bus insurance.
