Long-term budget forecasting is critical to a school district’s financial success. Important assumptions used when forecasting are tied to the state’s biennial budget. Each biennial budget identifies key school budget figures, per-pupil revenue limit increases and categorical aid amounts. This session will highlight the current biennial budget and how districts can approach using ESSER funds to balance the budget and plan for long-term financial obligations. Session participants will receive sample communication visuals and talking points to help facilitate discussion with district stakeholders.
