Budget Situation
The district has been working proactively since spring, 2022 to balance its budget in response to a $3.2 million shortfall. The district has reduced about $3 million for the 2023-24 school year, and will continue to plan for at least $1 million in reductions for the 2024-25 school year.
What is causing the shortfall?
Various factors are causing the shortfall, including declining enrollment, increased materials, supplies, and personnel costs. The district is required to have a 4 percent fund balance in its budget. Districts around the region and the state are facing similar reductions.
