2026-27 budget plans for a $700,000 shortfall as enrollment falls

What happened

The 2026-27 budget adopted June 23, 2026 projects about $33 million in general fund revenue and a loss of about $700,000. It assumes 50 fewer students (a 1.3% drop) and staffing reduced to state-funded levels.

Why it matters to families

A second straight deficit year draws down reserves. Falling enrollment also cuts state money for technology, literacy and other programs.

The evidence

The FY 2026-27 budget presentation gives the revenue, enrollment and deficit figures. The June 23 meeting page records adoption of the budget.
