After a failed April referendum, the district cut about $605,000

What happened

Voters did not approve a $1.2 million-a-year request in April 2026. The district then made about $604,800 in cuts for 2026-27: fewer staff, unfilled jobs, fewer custodians, and smaller activities and athletics budgets. It also used some savings (fund balance) as a short-term bridge.

Why it matters to families

Cuts to staff, custodial help and activities change what students and families see this school year, and the district says more would follow without new funding.

The evidence

The district's Quick Facts page lists the April request, the reduced November request and the $604,800 total; April 13 committee minutes record the budget review after the failed vote.
