On September 11, 2017, the School Board adopted the budget for fiscal year 2017-2018. As the fiscal

decreases in estimated revenues to more accurately reflect revenues, and increases or decreases in
appropriations to more accurately reflect estimated expenditures and/or better utilize funds for schools,
departments, and projects. These amendments facilitate district operations to occur in a 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.
