What happened

The Board approved the district’s 2025-26 unaudited actuals, which show a $7.60 million decrease in the combined general-fund balance during the year. The report lists a June 30, 2026 ending balance of $64.81 million, including $34.24 million unrestricted, while the 2026-27 budget projects another $3.99 million decrease.

Why it matters to families

The reported losses and projected decline put pressure on the district’s available operating cushion. The 2026-27 budget also reduces the unrestricted unassigned amount from $28.83 million in the actuals to $6.10 million, making future spending adjustments and financial monitoring important for every school.
