What happened

On August 26, 2026 the board adopted a 2026-27 budget that plans $16,488,950 in spending but expects only $14,265,913 in revenue. That leaves a planned gap of $2,223,037, about 13% of spending. Total spending is down 3.83% from $17,144,963 the year before.

Why it matters to families

A district that spends more than it brings in has to cover the gap from its savings. If gaps like this continue, the district may need to cut programs or staff, or ask voters for more money.

The evidence

The adopted budget form, dated August 26, 2026, lists total revenues of $14,265,913, total expenditures of $16,488,950 and a 'Difference in Revenue/Expenditures' of ($2,223,037). The posted budget summary shows a 3.83% decrease from the 2025-26 budget.
