For reference:
The budget book is a 29 page document that presents information on budgets required for adoption (General Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Child Nutrition Fund). It has comparisons to current budget and shows information by functional category (payroll, contracted services, supplies, other expenditures).
All budgets are fluid documents and subject to changes in priorities.
