Trustees approve 2025-26 2nd interim report after discussion of ADA and roofing plans

Willits Unified district staff presented the 2025-26 2nd interim financial report and the board approved the report by voice vote after discussion. The presenter noted recognition of additional revenue (a mandate block grant and county interest), a current ADA claiming factor of 13,123.85, and that the district remains at or near the required reserve threshold.

"Our goal is still the same at 2.3%," Melissa said while reviewing projections and multiyear comparisons. Trustees questioned a roughly $320,000 change between the first and second interim reports; Melissa explained the difference stems from ADA projection methodology and that the district uses a projection tool incorporating historical data. Trustees also discussed bond-funded facilities work: roofing for locker rooms, the wood and metal shop wing and the main building are planned as phased projects once bids are secured.

Trustee David moved to approve the 2nd interim report and Melissa seconded; the board approved the report by voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded in the transcript. Administrators said they will present updates if material changes occur and will continue to refine ADA and revenue assumptions before the next interim.
