Woodland Park School Board reviews schedule for June budget presentation and adoption

Board members reviewed the June 10 regular-meeting agenda and debated whether the budget presentation (public hearing) and final adoption should be split into separate events or remain on the same night. Staff noted state timing requirements: the budget must be adopted by the end of June, which constrains scheduling options.

Members discussed the procedural value of presenting the budget in one meeting and allowing a brief period for public comment after the presentation but before final action so community members have an opportunity to respond to the presented materials. The group discussed public-notice wording and whether the current language—if it refers explicitly to adoption or action—would require a separate special meeting; staff agreed to review the posted notice language in the June 3 legal notice.

Board members suggested clarifying agenda wording for clarity and transparency (an example phrase proposed was “adoption of final fiscal year 2026–27 budget appropriation resolution”), and agreed to keep the public comment opportunity before any adoption action on June 10. No formal change to the published agenda was made during the meeting; staff will confirm legal notice wording and adjust agenda language if necessary.
