Overview: During a recent St. Cloud School Board meeting, the primary focus was on the district’s budgetary challenges, driven largely by proposed changes in state funding. Superintendent Laurie Putnam presented a detailed overview of the potential financial impact for the 2025-26 school year. A key issue discussed was the projected reduction in compensatory revenue, estimated at $485,000 under the current proposal, which threatens staffing for roles like interventionists and multilingual teachers. This decrease is part of a broader anticipated shortfall, including the expiration of $370,000 in one-time literacy aid and $250,000 in unfunded unemployment insurance costs.
