District news
Planned general fund for 2026-27 is about 23% below the current year

What happened
The proposed 2026-27 budget lists a general fund of $6.9 million and a total of $8.53 million. The current 2025-26 final budget is $8.96 million general fund and $11.2 million total. A May draft had $7.2 million.
Why it matters to families
A smaller budget can mean fewer programs or staff. The agendas do not say why the figure is lower, for example fewer one-time funds or lower spending plans.
The evidence
The Jan. 20, 2026 agenda lists the final 2025-26 budget and the May 19 and June 16 agendas list preliminary 2026-27 budgets and a total appropriation resolution of $8,530,000. Minutes were not collected, so final adoption is not confirmed.
