School budgets increase slightly countywide for 2021–22

Yearly budgets for eight public schools in Jefferson County increased slightly from the 2020–21 school year to this school year, 2021–22.

Budgets were finalized by each school before the school year started and, as a formality, the County Commission approved the budgets at the Sept. 14 County Commission meeting.

The total budget for each school is comprised of 10 different funds: the general fund, transportation, bus depreciation, tuition, retirement, adult education, non-operating, technology, flexibility and building reserve. All of the school’s non-operating budgets for this year and last were zero.
