At the Oct. 28 meeting the district's finance staff summarized revenue and expenditure figures for the period ending Sept. 30, 2025 and explained how the state budget impasse and a partial federal shutdown affect district funding.

The district reported that, because of the continuing state budget impasse, it did not receive any state funding in September that it had received in the prior year; the transcript cited special-education and "ready to learn" subsidies totaling $1,091,693 in the comparable period last year that were withheld this year. The district reported real-estate tax collections of $114,629,881 for the 2025 period (90.7% collected) compared with prior-year collections cited in the presentation. Year-to-date expenditures totaled $34,656,720, of which $19,949,595 related to salaries and benefits; the presenter said these expenditures represented approximately 58% of year-to-date spending and were about $1.4 million higher than the previous year on an absolute basis.

Board members asked whether the lack of state funding disproportionately affects special-education and Title I programs. The presenter said the bulk of state funding goes to instruction and to employees working in instruction, and answered that much of the state funding supports special-education services. When asked how many grade schools are Title I, the transcript records conflicting statements during the meeting; the presenter did not provide an unequivocal final figure on the record. The presenter offered a ballpark estimate that roughly 13% of the district's budget is derived from state funds.

Board members also asked whether a federal shutdown would interrupt federal grant revenues; district staff said federal grant revenue related to those programs would not be received during a federal shutdown and that the district had not ceased Title I operations despite the state funding issues.

The board received the financial report and approved it by roll call vote.
