November 2006

School districts' budgets don't have to confound the ordinary citizen. This two-page Q&A explains where the money comes from and the constraints on those deciding where it goes. It discusses the major budget pressures facing school districts, the role of collective bargaining, and how the public can influence local school budget decisions.

This Q&A is also available in Spanish: Preguntas y Respuestas: El proceso presupuestal del distrito escolar
