Board posts tentative 2026–27 budget for public inspection; staff preview revenue and expense changes
Summary
The board authorized posting the tentative 2026–27 budget for public inspection and set a public hearing for Sept. 17, 2026. Staff said revenue is expected to rise due to a completed development (Highlands Lakes) while capital spending should decline as the ECC project winds down.
The board moved to adopt and post the tentative 2026–27 Skokie School District 68 budget and authorized the administration to publish notice of a public hearing to be held Sept. 17, 2026. Staff characterized the filing as a tentative step; final budget figures will be presented at the September meeting when year-end invoices and final project bills are available.
In a brief presentation, the district's staff noted a projected revenue increase tied to a completed development (identified in the discussion as Highlands Lakes) and an expected reduction in capital outlay because the Early Childhood Center construction is nearly finished. Staff cautioned that final numbers are pending and that some ECC bills may roll into next year; contingency amounts were included in education categories to buffer unplanned costs.
