We’ve begun developing next year’s school budget

RPS has begun developing its budget for the next fiscal year, FY 26. Visit the RPS budget page to learn more about this annual budget process. The image below describes the timeline for the RPS budget process.

At the Jan 21st School Board meeting, the Superintendent presented his estimate of needs for the proposed FY 26 budget. You can review this document and contact your school board members to give your thoughts. Below are two upcoming public comment opportunities for the FY26 RPS budget:
