The district decided to build two schools instead of one. The district has borrowed money to make payroll. Students at Canyon High School have to purchase parking permits to park there. Some teachers and administrators have huge travel expenses. The district seems to spend the fund balance on all sorts of things.
Campuses are happy enough with budget process.
It is driven by site based decision-making. They have control over it. But, once this budget is finalized, the district takes money out of the school's accounts without telling them, then, the schools are over budget in areas. The central office asks campuses to cut their budget. Campuses use their site based decision-making process to do so.
