6210 - FISCAL PLANNING

The Board of Education shall collect and assemble the information necessary to discharge its responsibility for the fiscal management of the School District and to plan for the financial needs of the educational program. The Board will strive toward maintaining both short and long range projections of District financial requirements.

Because of resource limitations, sometimes fiscal concerns overshadow the educational program. Recognizing this, it is essential that the District take specific action to make sure education remains central and that fiscal matters are ancillary and contribute to the educational program. This concept shall be incorporated into Board operations and into all aspects of District management and operations.

Accordingly, the Board directs the Business Manager to:

1. include cost estimates in all ongoing financial requirements;
2. prepare a long range maintenance and replacement plan of facilities and equipment;
3. maintain a plan of anticipated local, State, and Federal revenues;
4. report to the Board any serious financial implications that emerge from the District's ongoing fiscal planning.
