District budget planning leans on $11.36 billion state school fund estimate amid declining enrollment
Summary
The board heard a budget update noting the district is building its 2026-27 budget on an $11.36 billion state school fund estimate and is accounting for declining enrollment, PERS liabilities, Title allocations and grants ahead of the May budget meeting.
Michelle Jones, the district’s director of business services, told the board the district is preparing its budget on an estimate of an $11.36 billion state school fund and is factoring in declining enrollment and future PERS impacts.
Jones said the budget work includes review of staffing levels, Title allocations and grant revenues. The board was told this package of assumptions will be presented in more detail at the May budget meeting. The minutes note that March expenditures and revenues were within expectations and included replacement of the video surveillance server and the virtual host server that runs many district systems, and a final fiscal-year payment of federal PL 874 Impact Aid was received in March.
No formal budget adoption occurred at the April 13 meeting; staff will bring the full budget proposal to the scheduled May budget meeting for board action.
