2010 - 11 Northshore School District Budget

The F-195 is the official school district budget document and is filed with the Superintendent of Public Instruction.  School district budgets must be approved by their Board of Directors by August 31st.  The fiscal year for school districts starts September 1st and goes through August 31st.  The budget establishes maximum expenditure amounts for each fund and provides a means of measuring and guiding performance.  The 2010 - 11 budget will be submitted to the Northshore School District Board of Directors for adoption at the August 10, 2010 meeting.  Once approved by the board, it will be submitted to the Educational Service District (ESD).  Upon approval by the ESD, the budget will be forwarded to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. (OSPI).

The Northshore School District budget is comprised of five separate funds.  They are the General, Associated Student Body, Capital Projects, Transportation Vehicle, and Debt Service Funds.  The purpose of each fund is described in the Budget Summary Document (link below).  While not required by OSPI, Northshore School District prepares additional summaries and spreadsheets which describe the intended use of each fund and a breakdown of general fund expenditures and revenues into a format that is more easily understood.
