District expects $700,000 in cuts, then $2.9 million
What happened
At an April 27, 2026 workshop, leaders said deficits will significantly shrink the fund balance over two years, requiring more than $700,000 in cuts for 2026-27 and nearly $2.9 million the year after, as enrollment declines and costs rise. The board adopted the 2026-27 budget on June 22 and approved two layoffs.
Why it matters to families
Cuts of this size can mean fewer staff, larger classes or fewer programs.
