District overview
Bridgeport School District No. 75
How Bridgeport's schools are funded, who decides, and what is being built.
How is Bridgeport School District paid for?
Like most Washington districts, Bridgeport gets most of its money from the state, based mainly on how many students enroll. For 2026-27 the board planned the budget around 700 students, down from 715 the year before, because enrollment is declining. Big building projects are paid from a separate capital projects fund using state construction grants. Many students qualify for extra state and federal programs: in November 2025 the district counted 425 multilingual learners, 96 migrant students, 90 special education students and 14 homeless students.
Budget built on 700 students
Set on March 30, 2026, down from 715 for 2025-26; the 2026-27 budget was adopted July 27, 2026 (Resolution 524).
Payroll about $880,000 a month
Monthly payroll approvals ran about $874,000-$896,000 from November 2025 to February 2026.
Heavy construction spending
The capital projects fund paid about $550,000-$890,000 a month in bills during the remodel work.
Clean audit
The 2024-25 state audit of financial statements, food service and accountability found no findings (reported May 26, 2026).
The minutes report bills and budget status every month, but the adopted 2026-27 budget totals and the monthly budget reports are not posted online, so this page cannot show total revenue or spending.
