BUDGET DEVELOPMENT
Creating a balanced budget proposal that falls at or below the tax cap takes work. The goal is to balance the needs of the District with the ability of the taxpayers to support it.
As a District we continuously review the following:
Monitor expenditures to stay within the budget and to avoid waste
Review staffing levels, adjusting to meet current and future needs
Enrollment
Class size
Programming
Special Education Students - based on their Individual Education Plan (IEP)
Maximize “other” revenue sources
Review existing contracts to ensure best value
Annual bids and/or Request for Proposals (RFPs)
Negotiate employee/union contracts
Explore efficiencies to share services
Transportation
Intermunicipal Agreements for tuitioned students
