My Final Budget Bite Is Here — Year End Update

We know school finance can feel complicated — that's why I've has been breaking it down in our Budget Bites video series. And now, our final episode is here.
In this update, I'll share:

✅ How our federal funding was restored returning $2.9 million to our budget

✅ How we reduced our budget target from $5.4 million down to $2.5 million

✅ What we are excited about heading into 2026-27, including Accelerated Pathways, WestSide expansion, and the November bond

✅ A celebration of our School Board, named 2026 Regional Board of the Year

Over four years, our district has navigated $18.7 million in total reductions and we have done it while keeping students at the center of every decision. We are proud of that work, and we are grateful for your patience and support throughout this process.
