Budget

All school districts in the state of Washington are required by law to prepare, submit and adopt an annual budget in a format prescribed by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) i.e., the F-195 Budget Document. The budget year runs from September 1 of the current year through August 31 of the subsequent year. School district budgets use a fund accounting structure and unique revenue and expenditure classifications.

The Shelton School District schedules the annual budget to be reviewed and adopted by its Board of Directors during their regularly scheduled board meetings in August of each year. Since this district is a "first class" district, the budget must be adopted by August 31st of each year. A formal public hearing is held as part of the adoption process.
