Agenda Item Summary: FY 2019 School Board Budget Priorities
Background: Each September, the School Board provides guidance to the Superintendent and staff regarding Combined-Funds and CIP budget priorities for the upcoming school year.

This year, the School Board completed an exercise to help guide priority-development discussions. For the Combined-Funds Budget, each Member was asked to list a maximum of three priorities per ACPS 2020 Strategic Plan Goal. For the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), each Member named up to seven total priorities. Staff then tabulated the results while applying minimal changes to help categorize the priorities.

The Board and Staff also asked the Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) to review, analyze and provide recommendations to the Board on budget priorities.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the exercise results and the Budget Advisory Committee recommendations in preparation for the upcoming work session discussion.
