Board authorizes up to $6 million from M&O reserve

What happened

At the June 2026 budget hearing, the board unanimously authorized up to $6 million from the Maintenance and Operation Fund's undistributed reserve for current-year obligations if needed to avoid a negative balance.

Why it matters to families

The authorization signals projected pressure on the operating fund. It is a maximum authority, not a record that the entire $6 million was used.

The evidence

Approved minutes say administration expected the full amount was unlikely to be needed and limited the authorization to general expenditure classifications as needed.
