For 2026–27, Title I funding is $397,431 (about $12,000 lower year over year), Title II is $145,850 (also down about $12,000), and Title III English-language-learner funding increased by nearly $20,000; the district received no Title III immigrant allocation. Special education flow-through grants increased by about $65,000 for school-age services and $7,047 for preschool services, bringing the combined 611/619 funding to nearly $2.9 million—about 10% of the special education budget.
