Queen Creek Unified board approves revised FY26-27 expenditure budget
Summary
After a public hearing, the board approved a revision to the FY26-27 expenditure budget to align the adopted budget with final state forms and add one-time state allocations; board members voted by roll call to pass the revision.
The Queen Creek Unified District governing board approved a revision to the district's FY26-27 expenditure budget following a staff presentation and public hearing. Jessica Johnston told the board the revision aligns the adopted budget with final Auditor General forms and captures legislative changes affecting one-time state allocations.
"Tonight, we have a revision to our fiscal year 27 operating budget," Jessica Johnston said, explaining the changes include a 2% per-pupil increase adopted earlier and several one-time state supplements. She outlined a statewide allocation pool and district-level supplements that increase the district's available state aid capacity by "just under $1,000,000," with district additional assistance of about $350,000 and an added free-and-reduced lunch weighted amount of roughly $225,000.
Board members moved to approve the revised expenditure budget and completed a roll-call vote. President Davis called each name during the roll call; the board recorded affirmative responses from Samantha, Jennifer, Matt and Kelly and the motion passed. The presentation noted the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will finalize tax rates later this month and the district may revisit the budget in December and again in May if needed.
The revision also included a minor special-education adjustment to ensure compliance with the maintenance-of-effort requirement for FY27; Johnston said the district will publish its fiscal-year 26 annual report in October.
