The Columbia School District ended the 2025-26 school year with an overall surplus of about $1.1 million, according to preliminary figures presented to the school board last week.
Business Manager Keith Ramsey shared the pre-audit financial balances at the board’s November 5 meeting. The numbers are subject to change once the district’s audit is complete.
Ramsey recommended that the board transfer the surplus cash to the district’s capital improvement fund, which would set the money aside for future projects.
Board members are expected to vote on the proposed transfer at their next meeting.
