Graphic with the Peoria Unified School District logo at the top, featuring a colorful square grid design. Below the logo, large bold text reads: 'Fiscal Realities & Budget Implications' on a light gray background with diagonal lines and subtle dotted patterns.

Over the next few months, the process to reduce our budget by $11 million for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2026, will take place. We understand that this process, while necessary, brings feelings of uncertainty. Please know that no final decisions have been made and that we will continue to actively seek input from staff, families and our community as we remain committed to transparent communication throughout this process. When decisions have been made, our employees will be the first to know.

A shared space for questions and input is available on the district’s website and regular updates will continue through multiple channels.

Thank you for your continued focus on students and for working together as we navigate this process.
