BUDGET PLANNING

In order that the proposed budget may be presented to the RSU #11 Board of Directors in sufficient time for publication, hearings, and final adoption prior to presentation to the voters, the Superintendent is charged with the responsibility for developing and implementing a budget calendar. The budget calendar will include deadlines and/or schedules, a summary of the procedures to be followed in developing the budget, and a description of the responsibilities of the administrators during the budget process.

Although RSU #11 is required to budget only for a 12-month period of time (the fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of the following year), the RSU #11 Board encourages long-range planning for maintenance, capital improvements, bus replacement, equipment, and improvement of educational programming in order to make the most efficient use of available resources and anticipate future budgetary needs.
