The school district budget looms as a mystery of intertwined and complicated
figures to many school board members and school administrators.

Yet, the school budget is the single –most important element in the operation of a
school district. For everything that happens in a school district passes through
the school budget.

The school budget provides the structural shell within which a district’s
educational programs operate.
