Board reviews proposed 25‑26 budget as Title I funds remain uncertain
Summary
The board reviewed the proposed 2025‑26 preliminary budget, noting a projected increase in state aid and revenue, an estimated ~$106,000 in federal grants, and continuing uncertainty about Title I funding (staff estimated an exposed amount around $50,000–$60,000); final budget approval is scheduled for September when levies are set.
Board staff presented the proposed 2025‑26 preliminary budget and opened a public hearing on the proposal. Staff said general fund revenue reflects increases in state aid (figures discussed around $2,000,000 in state aid and roughly $800,000 in local taxes) and that restricted federal grants (including consolidated grants and Title I/II) are estimated around $106,000 in total for the district.
Several participants and staff raised the pending status of Title I funding in particular. One staff speaker said "the Title I is the only one that's probably not quite that much, but it's around between around that 50,000 mark, probably," and cautioned that the exact amount depends on the state allocation. The board noted those figures are preliminary and that the district will finalize levies and the budget in September after additional review. No changes were adopted at the meeting.
