What is the timeline for the school budget?
The fiscal year begins on July 1. That means the deadline for the final budget is June 30, each year. The district must submit regular budget reports to the Yolo County Office of Education showing a realistic three year plan to balance the budget. If lay-offs are required, those employees must get notices on certain dates. If the district does not meet all these requirements, future options are limited or the county may step in to assist in budget decisions.
This year’s process includes additional dates related to the parcel tax renewal.
