We are very happy to present our 2026–2027 7-District Budget Hub, which features budget profiles for each district on our dashboard. Each profile is built from the ACFR, which shows what a district actually spent, unlike a budget, which is often just a starting estimate.
These cards highlight multi-year spending trends, category rankings, and questions residents can bring into district budget meetings. They can also serve as an invaluable companion to last year’s user-friendly budget when evaluating what your district will be discussing this year.
One common pattern we’ve noticed is that a district will budget a certain amount in a category at the start of the year, overspend in that category, and then use that higher spending level as the new baseline in the next budget cycle. Our ACFR budget cards can help bridge that gap between one year’s budget and the next.
