School board members in Ely have finalized more than $640,000 in budget reductions and revenue enhancements, and action Monday linked names to the associated moves.

In a unanimous vote, the board approved recommendations that came from the district’s finance committee the week before, in an effort to close a wide budget gap for the 2026-27 school year.

The list includes an estimated $195,000 in savings that will come from a shift to a four-day school week, as well as a $213,480 donation from the Ely Educational Foundation.
