BUDGET PLANNING AND PREPARATION
Budget planning and preparation in this district will be an integral part of program planning so that the annual operating budget may effectively express and implement all programs and activities of the school system.
The Business Manager will have responsibility for budget preparation, including the construction of, and adherence to, a budget calendar. The Superintendent, building administrators and District coordinators shall seek and utilize all available resources as a means of ensuring the school district mission is incorporated into the budget document and submit budget requests for their school/department after seeking input of their staff members.
In order to effectively implement the programs and activities of the school system and carry out the educational objectives of the District, careful consideration shall be given to student performance standards established by the school. The annual budget should demonstrate how school district facilities and finances will be prioritized in order to facilitate the ability of students to meet and/or surpass the student performance standards.
The district shall plan the development of fiscal and human resources beyond fixed costs based upon student learning results and improved performance on student standards. To the extent possible, school district projects shall be prioritized and funded in order to enhance student learning.
District budget priorities beyond fixed costs are as follows:
• student safety
• instruction
• special instruction
• support services - students
• technology
• support services - general administration
• central support
• Board of Trustees
• non-instructional
The Superintendent, along with staff members representing the major school segments and departments, shall endeavor to match expenditures for programs with available resources (Budget Deliberations) so that a balanced budget will be presented to the Board of Trustees as the proposed budget.
