Wenatchee School Board approves $158M budget

The briefing

The Wenatchee School Board unanimously approved a $158 million budget for the 2026-2027 school year, driven by declining enrollment trends. About $138 million is allocated to the general fund, while the remaining $19.8 million is distributed across four other funds. The district projects an enrollment of 6,190 students—238 fewer than last year—and anticipates continued declines over the next five years.
