Budget

Oregon School Budget Law requires a local budget committee to recommend a district's budget to the school board. The school board has final approval authority. The committee is made up of the district's board of directors and an equal number of registered voters appointed by the board.

The Budget Committee reviews the District’s budget and recommends needed changes based on priorities set by the board. The Committee conducts business in evening public meetings held between January and June. The Budget Committee approves the Budget Document and forwards it to the School Board for adoption by the end of June.
