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)
