Budget manager warns ESSER ends, PERS costs rise; budget must be adopted by June 30
Summary
District business manager Denyce Kelly told the budget committee that declining enrollment is reducing income, ESSER (COVID) funds end this year, and PERS costs have increased; the committee was reminded the budget must be adopted by June 30, 2025.
Denyce Kelly, the district business manager, presented a fiscal overview at the April 28 budget hearing, telling committee members that declining enrollment has reduced projected income and that federal ESSER funds are ending. Kelly also said costs related to PERS have increased, adding pressure to the district's budget assumptions.
Kelly emphasized the calendar constraint: "The district must have an approved budget by June 30, 2025 to move into July," and the committee discussed scheduling a follow-up meeting to continue budget deliberations. The presentation flagged the need to reconcile staffing priorities with revenue forecasts and rising pension obligations before the statutory deadline.
