Budget Overview

The public is an integral part of the budgeting process. Each year, tens of millions of taxpayer dollars go to Springfield Public Schools, and a budget committee consisting of school board members and representative citizens play a vital role in determining how those annual funds are appropriated. You can learn more about the financial side of our operations on the following pages. The budget information will provide you with a general overview of how the district spends its resources, a summary of the budgeting process, as well as resources such as the superintendent’s budget message and the annual budget calendar.

The School Board publishes a summary of the approved budget and announces a public hearing for citizen comment. The budget must be adopted by the School Board no later than June 30, the last day of the old fiscal year. The complete budget document can be reviewed online.
