Budget Planning Update Presentation November 15, 2022

This document is a copy of the presentation provided to the school board in the November 15 study session, which includes updates to the school district's ending fund balance for the 2021-22 fiscal year.

2022-23 Shoreline School District F195 Budget

The F195 is the state-required format for reporting the district's budget for the fiscal year. While this document appears complicated, it ties back to specific structures used statewide, allowing for better transparency and reporting. If you have questions about our F195 or need help with interpreting information, just drop us a line at: budget.advteam@ssd412.org

Another way to look at some baseline comparative data is using the Washington State Report Card, a simpler look at aggregated data for each district as well as statewide.

Those interested in learning more about school funding in the state may wish to read the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction's "Organization and Financing of Washington’s Public Schools," which attempts to make the complex subject of school finance understandable to the general public. It is written for school board members, legislators, educators, and interested citizens.
