SHUTESBURY SCHOOL COMMITTEE
ANNUAL BUDGET
The
annual budget is the financial expression of the educational values, goals and
program objectives of the school district to meet the needs of all students.
The
budget then is more than just a financial instrument and requires on the part
of the Committee, the staff, and the community, an orderly and cooperative
effort to ensure sound fiscal practices for achieving the educational goals and
objectives of the school system.
Public
school budgeting is regulated and controlled by legislation, state regulations,
and local School Committee requirements. The operating budget for the
school system will be prepared and presented in line with state policy and will
be developed and refined in accordance with these same requirements.
The
Superintendent will serve as budget officer but they may delegate portions of
this responsibility to members of their staff, as they deem appropriate.
The three general areas of responsibility for the Superintendent as budget
officer will be budget preparation, budget presentation, and budget
administration.
