FISCAL MANAGEMENT GOALS
As the trustee of local, state, and federal funds allocated for use in public education, the Committee will use these funds wisely in pursuit of the district’s goals.
The quantity and quality of the district’s educational programs are dependent on the effective, efficient management of allocated funds. Achievement of the district's purposes can best be achieved through excellent fiscal management.
It is imperative that the educational program be held of paramount importance. Decisions made due to resource limitations must center on the educational goals of the district.
This prioritization will be incorporated into all aspects of district management and Committee decision making.

- To allocate public funding, centering equity while achieving the greatest educational returns andthe greatest contributions to the educational program in relation to dollars expended.
