School district departments began work on their individual budgets in January 2024, and submitted them to the district’s finance department in February.
In March, the school district’s chief financial officer prepared school funding models based on each school’s full-time equivalent student (FTE) counts and met with department directors in preparation for April’s and May’s budget discussions with the Board.
Bulloch County Schools’ overall budget is composed of five funds: General Fund, Special Revenue Fund, School Nutrition Fund, Capital Projects Fund, and Debt Service Fund.
