School Board budget review continues Monday

posted on 11/24/2025

The School Board will continue its fiscal year 2027 budget review at a Monday, Nov. 24 workshop.

The workshop will include an overview of the school district’s budget book and walking School Board members and the public through the budget materials.

The School Board received a high-level overview of the budget at a Nov. 17 special meeting, where Superintendent Christine Boston and Chief Financial Officer Michael Limanni reviewed the school district’s budget process and the drivers behind the estimated revenue and expenditures of the budget. This review also included estimated school enrollment numbers and the new position requests for the 2026/2027 school year.

The budget workshops, continuing on Mondays in November, December and early January, will drill down in detail. The School Board plans to adopt its budget on Monday, Jan. 12, with a backup date of Tuesday, Jan. 13. By ordinance, the School Board must adopt its budget annually by Jan. 15, so it can be included in the citywide budget that the City Manager must present to the City Council by Feb. 15. 

The School Board’s budget meetings and workshops are posted to the FY2027 Budget Revealed webpage along with associated documents.

The Nov. 25 workshop will be televised on DoverTV and online, where it will be available on demand.
