The Concord School District faces an $18 million budget deficit for fiscal year 2027. Salary and benefit increases, along with rising debt, contribute to this shortfall. State aid has significantly dropped due to increased property values and declining student enrollment. The district has approved $6.8 million in non-personnel reductions. Officials are now considering potential staff layoffs to balance the budget.
