7.C.1. Consider approving the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Revision #2, as presented

RELEVANT INFORMATION:
Pursuant to A.R.S. 15-905(E), if the district exceeded the general budget and or unrestricted capital budget limits by 1% of its General Budget Limit (GBL), the district is required to revise its FY 2026 budget by December 15th to reduce its expenditures to within the calculated budget limits. When school finance does its calculations in October, not all information is known with regard to the previous year's Budget Balance Carryforward. Now that this information is known, we are under the 1% threshold, but per statute, districts must revise based on the calculations in October. 

Presenter: Brian Moore, Chief Financial Officer
  

7.C.2. Consider approving the 2026 Schedule for Governing Board meeting dates, as presented.

RELEVANT INFORMATION:
The Governing Board should annually approve a schedule for meetings for the following year (see attached 2026 meeting schedule). Pursuant to Governing Board Policy BEDA, a statement shall be conspicuously posted on the District's website specifying where all notices of the Governing Board meetings are posted, including the physical and electronic locations, and give additional public notice as is reasonable and practicable as to all meetings. 

Presenter: Clark Tenney, Superintendent
  

7.C.3. Consider approving an adjustment to the PUSD 2026-2027 School Year Academic Calendar, as presented. 

RELEVANT INFORMATION:
School calendars and any adjustments to those calendars must be approved by the Governing Board per Governing Board Policy.

PUSD is proposing an adjustment to the 2026-2027 school year academic calendar by moving the scheduled professional development day from Monday, November 2nd, to Friday, October 2nd. Currently, the second quarter includes five no-school days and three half days, creating a high number of interruptions to instructional time. Shifting the professional development day earlier will help reduce these disruptions and provide teachers with additional time to complete grading, prepare for parent-teacher conferences, and support a smoother transition into the second quarter. 

Presenter: Kelsey Secor, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction
