The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the approval of the 2026/27 budget, which outlines the division’s planned operating and capital expenditures for the next school year.
A one‑page snapshot is included in the attached Budget Highlights. It includes:
- Total spending of $81.6M, with 84% directed to salaries and benefits.
- Targeted staffing additions focused on class size/stability (9.25 FTE), numeracy and tier 3 supports (4.5 FTE), clinical capacity (4.0 FTE), plus 13 FTE educational assistants.
- Taxation impact: while the Special Requirement (taxation revenue on a school-year basis) remains flat, the conversion to the property tax year results in an 11.4% mill rate change, about $12/month for the average homeowner.
Thank you to those who shared feedback during the budget process.
