District news
State put the district under a Financial Emergency Board
What happened
In April 2026 the superintendent told the board that the district had received emergency funding from the state and had been assigned a Financial Emergency Board. That board oversees the district's revenue and spending. In September it approved the 2026-27 budget and said it will keep reviewing district contracts and staffing plans.
Why it matters to families
Big spending decisions, including contracts, staffing and the budget, now need state sign-off. This oversight continues into the 2026-27 school year.
