Enumclaw School Board adopts $90.7 million 2026–27 budget

The Enumclaw School Board voted to adopt the district's 2026'27 budget, approving Resolution 1182 after a budget presentation and a public hearing that drew no speakers.

Budget presenter Mister Fletcher told the board the general fund projection includes a beginning balance of about $11.5 million, projected revenues of $90,717,720 and anticipated expenditures of $89,351,008.41. "We're projecting $90,717,720," Fletcher said, adding the budget anticipates a modest net gain and a possible interfund transfer depending on year-end balances.

Why it matters: the adopted budget sets spending priorities for instruction, transportation and capital work next year. Fletcher described five funds that make up the district budget and emphasized that the EP&O levy remains a key local revenue source. He said the capital projects fund will be larger this year because of planned school construction and related revenues, including a planned $40 million land sale from Oak Point and an agreement to access up to $25 million in mitigation-fee financing from the same developer.

The board's action: Director Stouffer moved to approve Resolution 1182; Director Mason seconded. Following a voice vote the chair announced the motion passed and the resolution was adopted.

What to watch next: the budget materials and a 14-page overview and detailed F-195 report are posted with the board packet. Officials said they will monitor enrollment and actual receipts through the fall and may amend transfers if circumstances change.
