Summary
The Pendleton School District 16R Board approved Resolution 2026-05 adopting a $79,286,572 budget for 2026–27, with a $58.12 million general fund, $12.85 million in special revenues and $8.32 million in debt service. The motion passed unanimously June 8.
Pendleton School District 16R’s Board of Directors adopted the district’s 2026–27 budget on June 8, approving Resolution 2026-05 that sets appropriations and imposes and categorizes taxes for the fiscal year.
Michelle Jones, the district’s Director of Business Services, presented the resolution and the budget document to the board. The consolidated budget total shown in the meeting record is $79,286,572. The minutes’ narrative contains a contradictory figure ($9,286,572) in the presentation paragraph; the tabulated totals included in the record confirm the consolidated total as $79,286,572.
Major allocations in the adopted package include a General Fund total of $58,117,500 — with Instruction budgeted at $27,902,371, Support Services at $22,259,129 and Contingency at $7,950,000 — a Special Revenue Fund total of $12,850,500 and a Debt Service total of $8,318,572. The Debt Service line includes $7,622,072 listed as debt service and a $696,500 unappropriated ending fund balance for Fund 300.
Chair Beth Harrison moved to approve Resolution 2026-05 "as presented;" Director Jill Pace seconded and the motion "carried unanimously." The record lists two absences: Patrick Gregg (with prior notice) and Mason Murphy (without prior notice). The special meeting was called to order at 5:45 p.m. and adjourned at 5:47 p.m.
The action formally adopts the spending levels and tax categorizations for fiscal year 2026–27; the minutes do not record any amendments to the budget or an itemized roll-call vote. Any further implementation steps or department-level spending changes would follow the adopted appropriations and usual district budget procedures.
