Key Takeaways

  • •The office runs on the last approved budget until a new one is approved.
  • •It uses the budget from the fiscal year right before the new budget year.
  • •No new budget can be used until the county office of education gets official approval.

Example

The new school year starts but the county hasn't finished approving the new budget yet.

The school office will still run on the old year's budget numbers until the new budget gets the green light.
