2026–27 Budget

Back on solid ground.

A balanced budget, reserves nearly tripled and a community that renewed its support at the ballot box.

The Business and Finance Department is responsible for the financial and physical resources of the district.

We prepare the annual operating budget and provide regular reports to district departments and schools to help them manage their budgets throughout the year.

Our staff are committed to supporting district-wide teaching and learning improvement, and the educational goals of the district.
