Wrenshall administration proposes FY26 assumptions: modest enrollment increase, potential compensatory aid loss
Summary
Administration proposed FY26 budget assumptions including a projected net +10 students (forecast 325), a 2.7% statutory PPU inflation factor, placeholders for staff compensation increases and a flagged worst‑case compensatory aid loss of $129,000 if direct certification only is used.
Administration told the board that a cohort survival forecast projects an enrollment increase of about 10 students for FY26 (budgeted 315 → forecast 325), which administration estimated would yield roughly +$100,000 in revenue. The materials cite the 2025 General Education formula allowance at $7,281 per APU and a statutory inflationary adjustment of 2.7% for FY26; administration also noted a potential worst‑case drop of $129,000 in state compensatory education aid if only direct certification is counted (SEG 084–086; SEG 094).
