K.3. Final General Fund Budget 2026-27: Mr. Perry
Recommended Motion(s):
The Board adopts the final general fund budget for the 2026-2027 school year, having expenditures of $73,545,961 and revenues of $72,748,243 with $265,000 coming from committed fund balance for debt service phasing, $49,738 coming from the committed fund balance for technology projects, and $482,979 coming from the unassigned fund balance, as per the attached.
The local revenues will be generated from the following:
• Property taxes will be assessed at the rate of 119.86 mills, a 3.45% increase
• Per Capita Act 679 - $5.00
• Per Capita Act 511 - $5.00
• Earned Income Tax - 0.5%
• Local Services Tax - $5.00
• Realty Transfer - 0.5%
• Amusement - 10%
• Mechanical Devices - $60.00
Discussion:
Our current millage rate is 115.86 mills, and the estimated value of one collected mill is $360,000. The estimated value of one collected mill increases to $362,000 for the 2026-2027 school year due to modest increases in collection rate and assessed values. As compared to the Proposed Final General Fund Budget approved at the May 11, 2026, Regular Voting meeting, Final General Fund Budget expenditures decreased by $56,585 and revenues decreased by $2,247. The decrease in expenditures was primarily due to the actual workers compensation insurance quote being less than estimate, revisions to curricular software, and minor personnel revisions. The decrease in revenues was related to lower state reimbursement of social security and retirement, due to lower personnel expenditures.
Action(s):
No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.

For this reason, I would recommend that this resolution be adopted after the final budget adoption occurs.
