Budgetary Process Timeline

  • Principals receive budget worksheets

    Principals complete budget worksheets provided to them by district office. This breaks down line-by-line the spending they intend to do for the following school year in various categories such as programs, technology support, and building maintenance. In order to determine budgetary needs, principals consult with teachers and take inventory of their supply areas. They also walk the building, usually accompanied by their building facility managers, to get a sense of future maintenance needs.
