For SchoolsStudent Based Budgeting (SBB)

For DepartmentsBudgeting for Outcomes (BFO)

These processes work in unison to better align the budget with the district’s strategic andlong term financial plans.

TWO-PART Budgeting Process

The Student Based Budgeting (SBB) model was implemented for the majority of schools beginning with the 2015/2016 school year.

STUDENT BASED BUDGETING Background

Allocated resources to schools based on their student counts and factors such as at-risk.Directed funds to schools in support

of school-based decision-making. Provided equity as funds were allocated

in a uniform and consistent process based on the population each individual school serves. Provided flexibility for site-based decisions

for staffing and spending within limited parameters known as defined autonomy.

Manageable with existing

staff and resources
