FY27 budget projects a $14.8M May cash gap

Petaluma Joint Union High School District · Jun 30, 2026

High-risk

What happened

The combined Petaluma City Schools budget projects a negative $14.8 million cash position in May 2027 because receipts arrive after major disbursements.

Why it matters to families

The annual budget is positively certified, but the shared administration may still need interfund borrowing or another cash-management tool to cover the timing gap.

The evidence

The adopted-budget report identifies near-zero cash in October and March, the negative May position, and the possible need for interfund borrowing.
