Board adopts 2026-27 budget of about $229 million
What happened
On June 9 the board adopted the 2026-27 budget and appropriation 5-0. The appropriation totals $228.9 million: $174.7 million in revenue plus $54.2 million drawn from reserves. The General Fund is $136.0 million and the Building Fund is $45.6 million, mostly spent from 2024 bond money.
Why it matters to families
Staff called falling enrollment the district's main money challenge, while costs for pay, benefits and utilities rise. Reserves are being used to cover spending this year.
The evidence
The adopted budget resolution lists the fund totals. The May 12 budget hearing report names enrollment decline as the main challenge, and the June 9 minutes record the vote.
