Board adopts the 2026-27 district budget

What happened

On June 8, 2026, the Board of Education formally adopted the district's 2026-27 budget through a package of resolutions covering appropriations, the beginning fund balance, interfund borrowing, and the district's TABOR emergency reserve, after reviewing a proposed version on May 7, 2026.

Why it matters to families

The adopted budget sets district-wide spending for the coming school year across every school; the collected agenda names the resolutions passed but this collector did not retrieve the underlying budget document, so specific dollar totals or year-over-year changes are not yet verified.

The evidence

The June 8, 2026 Regular Board Meeting agenda lists 'SY26-27 Adopted Budget' with ten linked budget resolutions (including amending and adopting the budget, appropriations, beginning fund balance, interfund borrowing, and the TABOR emergency reserve letter), following a 'SY26-27 DPS Proposed Budget' item on the May 7, 2026 agenda.
