Finance & Budget
About
Our Finance & Budget team manages all district financial planning, investments, audits and reporting—ensuring responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
Each year, the department oversees a budget serving almost 19,000 students across all schools and sites, funded primarily by state allocations, local levies and federal dollars.
The district holds an AA+ bond rating from Standard & Poor’s—placing it among just 65 districts nationwide with this designation—reflecting our strong financial health.
Equity-Based Budgeting
Amid rising costs and enrollment stabilization, our planning for the 2025–26 school year includes a strategic shift to equity‑based budgeting. This new approach will align our financial resources with student need—helping to close opportunity gaps and ensure every student has access to the support, programs and materials necessary to succeed.
