Board approves FY26 amended budget and moves $420,000 into operations fund
Summary
The Lakeview Junior High School Board approved its FY26 amended budget and two abatements totaling $420,000 to the Operations & Maintenance Fund, and set aside $500,000 into fund balance to support curriculum, staffing and facilities.
The Lakeview Junior High School Board approved the FY26 Amended Budget and two fund abatements at its June 10 meeting in Downers Grove. A motion to approve the amended budget, moved by Doug Wiley and seconded by Darren Spiegel, passed on a 6–0 vote with one member absent.
Superintendent Dr. Wise said the board’s amended budget commits $500,000 to Fund Balance to rebuild reserves and support curriculum, staffing and facilities improvements. “Dr. Wise presented the Amended Budget and commended the Board of Education for putting $500,000 in Fund Balance,” the board packet notes. Two abatements were approved to transfer $100,000 from the Education Fund and $320,000 from the Working Cash Fund into the Operations & Maintenance Fund to support building maintenance and planned projects.
Board members voted on each resolution by roll call; votes were recorded as six yeas, zero nays, and one absent. The board indicated the abatements are intended to align short-term cash needs with the district’s three-year facility plan and not to increase taxpayer levies.
