Board approves estimate of needs, sets maximum budget figures for 2026–27
Summary
The board approved the district's estimate of needs used to build the 2026–27 budget, citing maximum spending figures including a general fund current-expense line near $16.27 million and a child-nutrition fund figure discussed in the meeting.
At the Sept. 14 meeting the Stigler Board of Education approved the district's estimate of needs, the itemized statement of proposed expenditures and anticipated revenues that sets the maximum the board may approve for the 2026–27 budget. The presenter reviewed the general fund (current expense noted in the transcript as about $16,270,000), building fund and child nutrition fund totals and explained these figures form the margin for the budget process.
The superintendent/finance presenter told the board the figures are conservative and that the district is "in good shape," noting CDs and interest rates had improved (from 4.05% to 4.3% with Farmers). After questions about timing and how state aid is calculated, the board moved and approved the estimate of needs by roll call. The action establishes the maximum allowable spending the board can later adopt in its formal budget process.
