The Jenison Public Schools Board of Education approved the district’s 2026–27 General Fund, Debt Retirement and School Service budgets at its meeting on June 8, 2026. The resolution, presented during a prior budget hearing by Director of Finance & Operations Chris Marcy, passed on a 7–0 roll-call vote.
Board members approved budget assumptions that include projected General Fund revenue of $86,153,612 and projected expenses of $88,012,907. The district’s financing plan includes an 18.0000 mills tax levy and a $250 per-pupil foundation allowance increase. The board also approved debt millage allocations totaling 8.5 mills for 2026–27 (2017 – 1.08; 2020 Building and Site – 3.13; 2024 Building and Site – 0.59; 2026 Refunding Bonds – 1.19; 2026 Building and Site – 2.510).

The approved budgets reflect negotiated salary increases, a projected 3% increase in the health insurance hard cap, the elimination of one-time 2025–26 purchases funded by grants, and adjustments to interdistrict revenues. The board adopted the resolution by motion of Treasurer Chris Reed, supported by Vice President William Waalkes. The vote was recorded as Ayes: Mooney, Waalkes, Hartman, Reed, Griffin, Hogan, Jenison; Nays: None.
