ANCHORAGE, ALASKA

THE BUDGETING PROCESS

The budget provides a blueprint for the Anchorage School District’s educational goals. When developing the budget, the Anchorage School District has an obligation to its many stakeholders—the students, parents, employees, and community members—to consider each group’s priorities and balance them with the District’s stated mission of educating students for success in life. The FY 2004-2005 budget projections reflect the District’s on-going efforts to achieve this balance, maximize performance and contain costs.

These projections for FY 2004-2005 are prepared using the most current information available. Existing funds and cost savings are directed to District programs to ensure that progress is made in achieving School Board Goals in the areas of academic achievement, supportive and effective learning environment, and public accountability. The budget development process is mindful of the District’s responsibility in designating financial and human resources within projected revenues.
