Board approves budget 'skeleton' after cuts; district expects to close a $47,000 gap
Summary
Trustees approved a draft 'skeleton' budget after months of department cuts; staff said enrollment decline reduced revenue by roughly $800,000 and that the draft is currently about $47,000 short before final tweaks for Aug. 25 adoption.
At a budget workshop trustees approved the draft budget 'skeleton' that staff will refine before a final adoption vote. Staff (Staff member) said the district has seen an enrollment decline of roughly 150–200 students since 2020, lowering revenue by about $800,000; to address that shortfall the district trimmed departmental spending and consolidated some cost lines, leaving the draft about $47,000 in the red on a roughly $35 million budget.
The presenter gave revenue and appropriation figures: "The big picture is the revenues we expect to come in are 37,836,000. Our Appropriations worksheet is 37,000,884," the staff member said while summarizing the draft and noting a $1,000,000 bond payment was included in the totals. After discussion, a motion to approve the skeleton was moved and seconded (Charles and Linda named) and approved by voice vote; staff said they would find the remaining funds and return on Aug. 25 with a balanced final budget.
