Kalispell Public Schools approves final budget under looming shortfall
The Kalispell Public Schools central office at 233 First Ave. E. in Kalispell.
Kalispell Public Schools elementary district has $41.2 million and the high school district $42.6 million to operate with for the 2024-25 school year.
The revenue, a combination of state and taxpayer money, falls short of covering district expenses, though.
The expected shortfall is due to a combination of factors such as salary and health insurance increases, inflation, failed levies and the expiration of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund money issued during the pandemic.
