In December 2023, the Budget & Finance Subcommittee met to review drivers and assumptions in preparation for budget development. District administrators and directors submitted and discussed budget requests with the Superintendent.
In January 2024, the Budget & Finance Subcommittee met several times and the administration presented budget requests for each cost center: Joel, Eliot, Morgan, Special Services, Central Office, Maintenance, District-wide, and Athletics. Technology requests are embedded within the appropriate cost center. These meetings allowed for board members to ask questions and provide input prior to the Superintendent's proposed budget presentation. Each cost center presentation can be viewed here.
