The Klamath County School District Budget Committee approved the 2026–2027 budget at a May 7 meeting in Klamath Falls. Steve Lowell moved to approve the budget "as set forth," and John Rademacher seconded; the motion passed. The recorded vote was eight in favor and one abstention (Katie Bruner).
Committee members reviewed the budget message and packet before voting. Jill O'Donnell, who called the meeting to order, thanked Director of Business Services Janet Melsness for her work on the budget. During the review, Jacen Jespersen asked whether figures on page 84 were accurate; Melsness said she would research that item and follow up after the meeting.
