Summary
During the April 17, 2025 Budget Committee meeting, members questioned district staff about school-level budget transparency, staffing allocations and funding sustainability; staff provided responses and the committee scheduled a May 8 public hearing before final adoption May 22.
Chair Lupe Murillo opened the floor for clarifying questions on the proposed FY2025-26 budget and committee members raised multiple operational concerns, including school-level budget transparency, staffing allocations and stability, funding sustainability, maintenance costs, math performance improvement plans, professional development, substitute management and competitive compensation.
District staff provided answers to those questions during the meeting.

The committee also recorded the arrival of Board Director Michael Williams at 5:44 PM and Margie Grether joining virtually at 6:05 PM.
