Coming as we gather more annual data.
Multi-year comparisons require Annual Secretary of the Board Report (ASBR) filings from prior years. We're building that dataset now. What we have is below.
The operating reserve, April over April.
This data comes directly from the district's own treasurer's report. The operating fund balance has grown from $80M in April 2023 to $91M in April 2026 — a 14% increase in reserves over three years.
What this means: A growing operating balance is a sign of financial health — but it also means taxpayers may be funding reserves beyond what the district's own 20% policy floor requires. At $91M, the operating balance is roughly $41M above that floor. The board has not publicly communicated a plan for deploying the surplus.
$380.7M collected through April.
Revenue by major source, YTD through April 30, 2026. Local sources are nearly fully collected for the year; federal is lagging.
| Revenue Source | YTD Collected | Annual Budget | % of Budget | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local Sources | $189.98M | $191.34M | 99.3% | Property taxes, interest, enterprise activities |
| County Sources | $5.87M | $6.98M | 84.1% | Railroad/utility taxes; some timing lag |
| State Sources | $50.71M | $52.18M | 97.2% | Foundation formula, transportation, Early Childhood |
| Federal Sources | $5.96M | $8.54M | 69.8% | Title I, IDEA, nutrition — likely timing; $2.6M pending |
| Bond / Non-Current | $128.02M | $128.09M | 99.9% | April 2025 voter-approved bond proceeds |
| Total | $380.75M | $387.31M | 98.3% |
Multi-year comparisons are in progress.
To build meaningful year-over-year analysis, we're working through ASBR filings going back to FY2022. Those reports are public record, filed annually with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Once compiled, this page will show per-pupil spending trends, category growth rates, and how Park Hill's finances compare to similar Missouri districts.
If you have prior-year ASBR data or have done this analysis already, get in touch.
