Meridian CUSD 223 board approves FY26 tentative budget after superintendent flags higher-than-expected expenditures
Summary
The Meridian CUSD 223 board approved a tentative FY26 budget Aug. 6 after Superintendent Dr. Plourde told trustees that year-to-date expenditures 'far exceeded what was expected' and that auditors will provide further details.
The Meridian Community Unit School District #223 Board of Education voted Aug. 6 to approve the district's tentative FY26 budget following a presentation by Superintendent Dr. Plourde.
Dr. Plourde told the board that the district's expenditures to date "far exceeded what was expected" and said the board should have more information after the pending audit. On a motion by Huber, seconded by Rhodes, the board approved the FY26 tentative budget by unanimous vote. The motion used the Budget Summary Table presented by the superintendent.
The action keeps the district on schedule to hold a formal Budget Hearing and subsequent adoption; the board also approved a special meeting to consider budget hearing and adoption. The tentative approval is a preliminary step; final adoption will occur after required public notice and the formal hearing.
