What happened

On June 23 the board adopted the 2026-27 budget, appropriating $37,142,284 across all funds, including $22.9 million in the general fund. It also authorized using $300,000 of fund balance for rising insurance premiums and $335,000 for an accessible bus and safety and security upgrades.

Why it matters to families

This is the plan for all district spending for the school year starting July 2026. Using savings for one-time items can strain the budget in later years.

The evidence

The Jun. 23, 2026 minutes include the appropriation resolution and the fund balance resolution. For comparison, the district's 2025 total mill levy was set at 41.947 in December 2025.
