Board adopts the 2026-27 budget and votes to use part of its savings

What happened

On June 24 the board adopted the 2026-27 budget and appropriation resolution and also voted for a resolution to use part of its beginning fund balance (savings) in 2026-27. Staff said the budget includes a projected 4% increase in health insurance and that the staff daycare subsidy, which the district has paid for several years, should have been in the budget.

Why it matters to families

Using savings to balance a budget works only for a limited time. The documents read do not show the dollar amounts of the budget or the amount of savings used.

The evidence

The June 24 minutes record three 5-0 motions: to adopt the 2026-27 proposed budget, to adopt the appropriation resolution, and to adopt a resolution to use a portion of beginning fund balance. The superintendent's report in the same minutes notes the 4% health cost increase and the daycare subsidy. Budget documents themselves were not posted in the pages collected.
