6220 - BUDGET (APPROPRIATIONS) PREPARATION
The budget is formulated under the direction of the Superintendent using a cooperative budgeting system in which the principals and department supervisors develop throughout the year, a list of items for implementing the instructional program, and/or for day-to-day operations in their schools/departments that they wish to include in the next budget.
At the beginning of each budget year, the Superintendent and Business Manager will estimate the costs of Corporation-wide operations such as staff, building maintenance, transportation, capital improvements, etc., and determine the allocation for each school as well as the total allocation for each operating department.
The Superintendent, in collaboration with the administrative team, shall make a compilation of the budget requests and determine how any increase in revenues will be allocated.
The completed tentative budget shall contain:
| A. | the amount budgeted for proposed expenditures by funds, functions, and object; | |
| B. | the corresponding amounts budgeted by fund, function, and object that were actually expended during the last completed fiscal year and anticipated to be expended during the current fiscal year; | |
| C. | all revenues anticipated for the ensuing fiscal year classified as to funds and sources of income, including only those revenues which can be reasonably anticipated and excluding contingency revenues. |
The proposed expenditures and anticipated revenues in the budget shall be supported by explanatory schedules or statements of sufficient detail to judge the validity thereof, including a statement which shall summarize the aggregate of revenues, appropriations, assets, and liabilities of each fund, in balanced relations.
