Superintendent flags Rockefeller Group report and budget planning as district prepares for 2025–26
Summary
Superintendent Jennifer Dunn told the board the administration is updating procedural manuals and handbooks, preparing budget materials for midyear review, considering a Unified Sports grant for March, and watching Rockefeller Group recommendations that could change poverty and fund-balance calculations used in state aid.
Superintendent Jennifer Dunn reported the administration is in year two of updating procedural manuals and handbooks to align with new board policies and that departments are preparing their budgets for a midyear review in January. Dunn said the administration hopes the updates and handbook work will be completed in time for the 2025–26 school year.
Dunn also said the district is "looking at a grant to have Unified Sports for a mini season in March" (potentially bowling with nearby schools) and that the Rockefeller Group has submitted a report suggesting changes to poverty calculations and wealth measurement that could affect aid and fund-balance rules; the report recommends increasing an allowable fund-balance measure to 10% from 4%, which could influence revenue projections for districts that rely on current formulas.
