Cascade School District #5 adopts 2025–26 budget and approves property tax levy
Summary
The Cascade School District #5 Board unanimously adopted the 2025–26 budget, approved appropriations and imposed the property tax levy at its June 9 meeting; all motions carried 5‑0. The budget and levy were adopted following a brief, no-comment budget hearing.
The Cascade School District #5 Board of Directors voted unanimously on June 9 to adopt the district's 2025–26 budget and related appropriations and to impose the property tax levy for the coming fiscal year.
The adoption was moved by Aaron Lee, seconded by Spencer Rockwell (Resolution 10.C), and carried with all five board members voting yes. The Board separately approved the appropriation of the adopted budget (Resolution 10.D) and the property tax levy (Resolution 10.E); those motions likewise passed unanimously. The Budget Hearing was opened at 7:53 p.m., Finance Director Mr. Pillar outlined the adoption procedure and no public comments were received before the hearing closed at 7:55 p.m.
Why it matters: adopting the budget, appropriations and levy sets the district's legally authorized spending and the tax rate framework for 2025–26. The Board also approved an amended appropriation of expenditures not requiring a supplemental budget (Resolution 10.B) during the same meeting.
Board procedure and next steps: The motions recorded in the minutes list the mover and seconder for each resolution and show unanimous approval; packet materials with detailed line-item budgets were referenced by district staff. The Board listed a budget update for Oct/Nov as a future agenda item and indicated bond polling work would continue later in the year.
