Roscommon Area Public Schools - Fund Balance - Audited and Budgets

[Shadowninja]

Dearest reader,

We have reached Step 5 at Roscommon Area Public Schools. The General Fund. 🪶

The district ended 2024–25 with an audited General Fund balance of $6,521,700.

Now we look forward.

For 2025–26, the district's final amended budget projects:

Revenue: $15,715,764 
Expenditures: $17,066,126 
Projected change in fund balance: −$1,698,157 
Projected ending fund balance: $4,823,543

Then comes the original 2026–27 budget:

Revenue: $15,784,556 
Expenditures: $16,339,255 
Projected change in fund balance: −$554,698 
Projected ending fund balance: $4,268,845

Put those together and the district is projecting its General Fund balance to move from:

$6,521,700 → $4,268,845

That is a projected decrease of $2,252,855, or 34.54%, over two budget years.

One important distinction, dearest reader: the $6.52 million figure is an audited actual balance. The next two years are budget projections. They can — and often do — change as budgets are amended and actual revenues and expenditures come in.

But budgets are also plans.

And Lady B rather likes seeing what the plan says.🪶

That closes the ledger on Roscommon Area Public Schools.

With receipts and respect,
