What happened
The district's required financial notice shows the general fund balance dropped from $10,551,757 (2022-23) to $5,887,340 (2024-25) to a projected $1,960,647 for 2025-26 and 2026-27.

Why it matters to families
With almost no savings left, the district is borrowing short-term to pay bills, which leaves little room for surprises and adds pressure for cuts or school consolidation.
