Red Wing School Board members are poised to approve the 2026 fiscal year budget at their regular meeting Monday, June 23. Fiscal year, which covers the 2025-2026 academic year, begins July 1.
Administrators outlined budget parameters last month, and board members authorized tapping the district’s fund balance up to $1 million to balance the budget. As will be presented Monday night, the fiscal year 2026 General Fund budget calls for using about $470,00 of that balance. The projected unassigned fund balance for the General Fund is 12.5%, keeping the fund above the minimum balance of 5% outlined in Policy 714.
Several other departments within Red Wing Public Schools, including food service and Community Education, also will dip into their fund balances. (See chart.)The meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. in Red Wing High School room J110. Find the full agenda on the BoardBook. The meeting is open to the public and will be live streamed on the district’s YouTube page.
