Re:​ Budget Process and Timeline
Date:​ October 25, 2024

It's that time of year again when we begin preparing the budget for the upcoming school
year.

Below are some important dates to remember:
   ●​ Narratives and requested budgets must be submitted to the Finance Department
       before Thanksgiving Break.
   ●​ All budget requests will be compiled into one budget for review by the
       Superintendent before Christmas Break.
   ●​ The Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent and Director of Finance and
       Operations will meet with Administrators to review their submitted budgets, in
       January.
   ●​ Superintendent will finalize the proposed budget and present to the Board of
       Education, in February.

I will be emailing your budgets to you shortly in excel format.
    ●​ Please only fill out information that is highlighted in yellow, with the exception of
         Maintenance who will fill out information that is highlighted in red.
    ●​ Confirm that the correct employees are listed with the correct positions if any
         corrections need to be made to employees positions please email the corrections
         to me.
    ●​ For Additional Staff Hours please fill in the number of hours anticipated and
         finance will calculate the total cost.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
