Proposed Budget for 2025-2026

As we embark on another year of community support, our budget committee is eager to share a proposed budget for the 2025-2026 school year with the entire board. We believe this proposed budget supports the educational experience of every student at our school and is a concrete representation of our PTA’s values of equity, collaboration, community-centricity, and transparency.

Though our fundraising this year was not substantial enough to fund our proposed budget, the money we raised, in combination with surplus from previous years, will fund our spending for 2025-2026.

2025-2026 By the Numbers

This year, we are proposing a budget of $102.0K, a 1.5% decrease from our current budget of $103.5K.

The largest areas of spending are:

  • Staffing, $44.5K. This includes funding for our Reading Specialist ($20.5K), Hourly Staffing and Tutors ($8K), Volunteer Coordinator ($8K), Family Support Coordinator ($3K), and Kindergarten Jumpstart ($5K).
