Budget Information

Welcome to the Spring Hill School District's Budget Information Site. The goal is to make budget information readily available so that you can understand more about the fiscal management of your school district.

In late 2009, Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson announced another reduction in public school funding. The state, which faces a shortfall of $260 million, is required by law to balance its budget for the current fiscal year. To accomplish this task, a cut of $191.8 million was made to K-12 education funding. This cut, which will cost the Spring Hill School District more than $500,000, is the fourth cut since March 2009. In addition, the district staff and board members are working to prepare for more funding cuts by the state legislators that would adversely affect the 2010-2011 school year.

All districts now face tremendous financial need, as work continues to ensure that all students in the State of Kansas perform at a high level of academic achievement. Visit Budget Basics for an overview of how state funding is determined.

Sharing timely and accurate information is critical during these challenging budget times. The Spring Hill School District's intent is to provide you with information that is helpful as the district faces the challenges of spending reductions. During the budgeting process, school administrators are committed to keeping shareholders informed and trust that community members will find this information helpful. In addition, remember that your  feedback is welcome and appreciated.

As always, the goal remains the same – to provide a rigorous curriculum for students that enable them to achieve their future goals within a fiscally responsible budget.
