Proposed 2026-27 budget: $185.4M in revenues, projected expenses near $190.2M; public hearing opened
Summary
Director of fiscal services Michelle Coffin presented the proposed 2026-27 budget: projected enrollment 8,861, revenues $185.4 million, expenses $190.192 million, and reserves meeting SB 858 requirements; the adopted budget will return for approval with the LCAP on June 17.
Michelle Coffin, director of fiscal services, led the required public hearing for the proposed 2026-27 adopted budget and explained the district's revenue and expenditure assumptions. "Our total revenues from all sources are 185,400,000," she said, and noted projected enrollment at 8,861 students and funded ADA assumptions. Coffin reported total budgeted expenses of $190,192,200 and said employee salaries and benefits account for roughly 78% of expenses.
Coffin outlined the general-fund summary and reserve strategy: a projected ending fund balance of $34,500,000 with a $5.7 million (3%) economic-uncertainty set-aside and committed funds of about $21 million. She said the final adopted budget and the LCAP will be presented for approval at the June 17 meeting, and that a 45-day revised budget may be brought in August after the state enacts its budget.
