On September 13, 2021, the School Board adopted the budget for fiscal year 2021-2022. As the fiscal year progresses, we ask the School
Board to amend the budget to more accurately reflect estimated revenues and appropriations. The amendments are results of various
factors including: increases or 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.
Required by S.B.E. rule 6A-1.006.
