CES Fiscal Update January 6, 2026

Thank you to everyone who was able to join the fiscal update meeting on January 6th. We had a productive session discussing the organization’s current financial landscape and how it affects our educational mission for the coming year.

We know that many of you have busy schedules or were supporting our programs during the live session. To ensure everyone has access to the same information, we recorded the meeting for you to watch at your convenience.

Why this matters: As a collaborative, our impact and our programming is directly tied to our financial health. In the review, we covered:

  • An overview of our current revenue and funding sources.
  • Key budget priorities and concerns for FY26
  • How these figures relate to our daily work and long-term goals.

Next Steps: This was our second budget update this year. We value your perspective on how we can continue to provide clear, understandable information about our budget. After you’ve had a chance to watch, we want to hear from you about ways to improve these presentations. Please feel free to reach out to Rebecca Lincoln, Director of Finance, if you have any specific fiscal questions or feedback.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our students, families, districts, and our mission.
