What is a budget

A budget is a description of a financial plan. It is a list of estimated revenues and expenditures for a stated period

• f time. Normally a budget describes a period in the

future not the past. It is a plan for allocating resources: a plan specifying how resources, especially time or money, will be allocated or spent during a particular period. It identifies the money for a particular purpose: the total amount of money allocated or needed for a particular purpose or period of time. The budget is our district’s financial plan to deliver and maintain the district’s facilities and the mandated/non- mandated programs for the students we serve.
