Board approves budget using $1.23 million from fund balance

What happened

The Board approved a 2026-27 general purpose budget with $17.44 million in expenditures and $16.20 million in revenue, using $1.23 million from fund balance for the remaining need.

Why it matters to families

Using fund balance helps pay for this year’s plan but leaves less of that reserve for later needs. The budget also raises the teacher salary schedule 3.38% and non-certified staff pay 5%.

The evidence

July 28 official minutes record unanimous approval and list the expenditure, revenue, fund-balance, and pay-increase amounts.
