Board approves 2026–27 tentative budget; superintendent calls it non-final
Summary
The Lake Forest SD 67 board voted unanimously to approve the 2026–2027 tentative budget. Superintendent Montgomery described the document as non-final and said comparables and final figures will be confirmed in the fall.
The board approved the 2026–2027 tentative district budget in a roll-call vote during the June 15 meeting. Superintendent Montgomery described the budget as non-final and said additional analysis of comparables will occur when statewide data are released in the fall.
During the presentation the superintendent said the tentative budget is part of multi-year planning and emphasized that some savings and forecast changes are preliminary. “This is a non final budget,” the superintendent told the board before the motion and roll-call vote. Board members recorded unanimous support in the roll-call recorded by the clerk.
The transcript does not include line-item budget attachments or specific dollar totals beyond the superintendent’s general fund-balance projection; board members noted continued work with coaches and principals over the summer to analyze raw assessment and budget data. Final budget adoption and any adjustments will follow required public-notice steps and the district’s budget calendar.
