Board holds public hearing on proposed 2025–26 budget; Title I award still pending
Summary
The board held a public hearing on the proposed 2025–26 budget, with staff reporting revenue increases tied to student growth, roughly $2 million in state aid and about $106,000 in restricted federal grants; Title I funding remains pending and is estimated near $50,000–$60,000.
Board finance staff reviewed the preliminary 2025–26 budget during a public hearing, describing revenue and expenditure changes driven by increased enrollment and the planned addition of three staff positions. The business manager said the district expects over $2,000,000 in state aid and about $800,000 in local tax revenue; restricted federal grants were estimated at roughly $106,000, and the reserve fund was adjusted by $5,417.10 to balance the preliminary figures. Final levy requests and budget finalization are scheduled for the September meeting.
Board members pressed staff for details about federal funds and Title I in particular. The business manager said the consolidated and IDEA grants were submitted and funded, but Title I award notices have not yet been released; one speaker estimated Title I would be "somewhere around 60,000" while staff suggested it may be nearer the $50,000 mark. The board agreed to continue review and to revisit any changes at the September meeting when levy requests are set.
