What is the Year-End Budget?
School districts receive funding from local, state, and federal government sources to support their annual operations and expenses. Sometimes, even as the academic year comes to a close, funds are left in the till. When this happens, school districts must decide quickly on what to do with their leftover budget.
To help school districts optimize all available funding, our experts have pulled together a guide of one-time IT investments with our recommendations for how to prioritize critical areas in your spending plan before funds expire.
Don’t leave money on the table. Surplus funds provide an opportunity to reinvest in two impactful areas:
