Preliminary budget sent to ESD 123 for final review
Chief Financial Officer Pat Johnston reported to school board members Tuesday, July 17 on the district's 2012-2013 preliminary General Fund budget was sent to ESD 123 for review per state requirement.

Johnston said the district is basing the preliminary General Fund budget on revenues of $60,396,271 and expenditures of $61,215,107. This requires the district to use $880,436 of reserves to balance the budget.

Johnston said the district will still maintain a healthy unrestricted reserve for the upcoming school year. She said the district will continue to refine the figures in the next few weeks as more information arrives. The school board will approve the final budget during their August 21 meeting.
