6110 Budget Planning

BUDGET PLANNING 

The Superintendent of Schools and his/her administrative staff shall have the overall responsibility for budget preparation. This shall include developing a budget calendar in accordance with regulation 6110- R, and adhering to that calendar. The budget calendar shall be approved by the Board of Education in advance of the preparation of the district's annual budget.

The budget shall be designed to reflect the Board of Education's objectives for the education of the children of the district. Therefore, it shall be carefully organized and planned to ensure adequate accounting for each program expenditure, and thorough understanding of the financial needs of anticipated program developments, within district financial limitations. To assist in budget and long range planning, ongoing studies of the district's educational programs will include estimates of the fiscal implications of each program.

The Board encourages the Superintendent to utilize committee advice from staff, students, and community in educational planning and budget studies in the manner permitted by Board policies.

The Superintendent will submit the proposed budget to the Board. The tentative budget for the ensuing school year shall be thoroughly reviewed by the Board before its final adoption.
