Round Lake Area School District Approves FY26 Amended Budget and FY27 Budget
The Round Lake Area School District 116 Board of Education held a public hearing to review and approve amendments to the Fiscal Year 2026 budget and to consider the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget. The FY26 amended budget showed improved operating revenues and expenditures, significantly reducing the initially projected deficit.
