Committee reviews tentative FY26 budget as transportation reimbursements fall
Summary
District finance staff told the committee that tentative FY26 budget pressures include a roughly $1,000,000 drop in state transportation reimbursements and a sharp rise in Special Education outplacements; the committee scheduled follow-up work.
Dave Blatchley, assistant superintendent for business services, reviewed the tentative fiscal year 2026 budget and identified two immediate pressures: state transportation reimbursements are down by approximately $1,000,000, and Special Education outplacements have increased dramatically, adding unbudgeted costs.
Blatchley presented the committee with the tentative numbers and flagged areas staff will monitor and adjust as they finalize the budget. Committee members did not vote on any budget measures at the meeting; follow-up analysis and potential adjustments were scheduled for a future committee meeting.
