The Enumclaw School Board voted to adopt Resolution 1182 to approve the district's proposed 2026–27 budget after a public hearing that drew no commenters. Director Stouffer moved to adopt the budget; Director Mason seconded, and the chair announced the motion passed after a voice vote.

Director Gamblin summarized the figures in the package: "For revenues, we're projecting $90,717,720." He told trustees the draft anticipates expenditures of $89,351,008.41 and an estimated beginning fund balance near $11,500,000, producing a modest net gain in the financial plan. Gamblin said most general‑fund dollars support staffing and day‑to‑day operations and noted the district will continue monitoring fund balances before final transfers between funds.

The board opened a statutorily required public hearing on the budget; no members of the public signed up to speak and the chair closed the comment period before the formal vote. The board then approved related procedural items (payroll and vouchers; consent agenda) by voice votes. The district will move forward with the budget documents and the four‑year forecast presented in the packet.
