Issue: FY05 Budget   NPS Online Home


Summary
Yearly development of a budget is perhaps the School Committee's most important responsibility.  Beginning with budget guidelines presented to the Superintendent in late fall and ending with an approved budget submitted to the Mayor in late spring, the budget development process is a constant balancing act, weighing the needs of students and teachers against the city's financial constraints.
(The final budget for the Newton Public Schools is also highly dependent upon budgetary developments at the state and federal levels. )
