The Tempe Elementary Schools Governing Board held a meeting on June 10, 2026, which included a public hearing on the proposed annual expenditure budget presented by the Chief Financial Officer, Eric Thompson. The budget discussion focused on a 2% base funding increase, anticipated enrollment decreases of about 2%, and adjustments to capital spending, including a planned $2 million increase in capital funds to address rising costs. The board reviewed the impact of one-time state funding reductions totaling approximately $1.3 million and discussed the timing for adopting the final budget after the state legislature's approval. The meeting also included approval of the agenda, consent agenda, and modification of minutes, as well as acknowledgments of donations and grant awards supporting student needs.
