Q65 (originally Q50): Do we have an official number yet for what, if anything, is in the fund balance?
The district confirmed a draft of the FY25 school financial reports existed and would be shared during a Monday night fund balance presentation. The question confirmed a fund balance exists but did not address why the $1.355M FY26 draw disappears in FY27 or its impact on taxes.
Q65 (originally Q50) confirmed the fund balance exists and a presentation was planned, but the core issue — that $1.355M of the tax increase is simply replacing disappearing revenue, not new spending — was never explained to voters. The brochure presents the $4.2M total spending increase but never explains that taxpayers are actually paying $4.45M more because they are also covering vanished revenue.
