Gilbert Public Schools approved its final revision to the fiscal year 2025-26 budget Tuesday night, increasing its maintenance and operations budget capacity and unrestricted capital budget capacity after student enrollment losses came in lower than anticipated.
District officials said the revised budget reflects stronger-than-expected average daily membership, or ADM, a key enrollment-based figure in Arizona’s school funding formula.
When the district adopted its original fiscal year 2025-26 budget, officials projected a loss of about 1,300 students. Instead, the district lost 768 students.
