On September 12, 2016, the School Board adopted the budget for fiscal year 2016-2017. As the fiscal

positive manner.
These amendments properly reflect the estimated revenue and appropriations. The amendments show
the estimated revenue and appropriations for each fund and provide a description of the amendments.
