Merced River School District Holds Brief Hearing on 2025–26 Budget Ahead of July 1 Deadline
Summary
The board held a public review of the 2025–26 budget on June 9, 2025 and noted the district must adopt a budget by July 1 under state law; staff warned the budget may require revision pending the state budget.
The Merced River School District Board convened a public review of the 2025–26 budget at its June 9, 2025 meeting. The agenda notes that "In accordance with Education Code 42127 (a)(2), school districts shall adopt a Budget on or before July 1st of each year," and board materials cautioned that the district might have to revise the proposed budget before the first interim if the State Budget changes funding assumptions.
Jose Lopez was listed as the presenter for the budget overview. The public hearing was opened at 6:20 p.m. and closed at 6:21 p.m.; the transcript records no public speakers during that minute. Board members were told the timeline requires adoption by July 1 and that staff will update the budget if state appropriations materially change. "In accordance with Education Code 42127 (a)(2), school districts shall adopt a Budget on or before July 1st of each year," the agenda text states.
The district will proceed with the formal adoption process and prepare any necessary revisions prior to its first interim report if state funding assumptions change. The board did not take a final adoption vote during this meeting; the agenda treated the review as the required public hearing step before adoption.
