How the district is funded and governed

County school district governed by a five-member Board

The audit describes operating support from property taxes and state and federal revenue. The official Board page links a Simbli archive whose reviewed host terms prohibit automated cataloguing.

Operating fund

FY2025 General Fund revenue was $22,450,768 and expenditures were $21,601,052.

Government-wide funding

Property taxes supplied $5,318,500; combined state and federal general revenue supplied $15,736,683; Sixteenth Section sources supplied $168,647.

Audit result

The audit issued unmodified opinions and reported no financial-statement or federal-award findings or questioned costs.

Current AI rule

The 2026-2027 technology handbook limits academic AI use to district-provided or formally approved tools, with monitoring and privacy safeguards.

Academic calendar

The Board approved the 182-student-day 2026-2027 calendar on March 2, 2026.

The officially linked Simbli meeting archive was excluded because its reviewed host terms prohibit automated cataloguing; no public Board or subcommittee occurrence records are claimed.
