What Does a School Budget Tell Us?

A school system’s budget

expresses, in dollars, the

community’s support for

operating its schools.

Where the dollars are

requested speaks to the

priorities of the system.

“An investment in knowledge always pays

the best interest.”

Elementary Reconfiguration: One-Time Costs

Removal of ‘One-Time’ Costs

One year ago, we reported our need for additional funds to convert our elementary schools to a K-5 configuration.

We framed these additional costs as “One-Time Only” costs, specifically related to that work.

To honor this promise, we started our budget process with the removal of the “One-Time Only” expenses that had been provided to us in 2015-16.

Overtime……………………………………….…$ (75,000)

Clerical Support (IT & Secretarial)………………..(40,000)

Moving Expenses…………………………………..(50,000)

Building Projects……………………………………(50,000)
