BURTON SCHOOL BOARD REVIEWS BUDGET PROJECTIONS
The Burton School Board held a workshop on Tuesday to review current budget conditions and see how the upcoming fiscal year’s budget is shaping up. Burton ISD Business Manager Caitlyn Blakey-Staal first showed trustees the district’s expectations for how this year’s budget will close out. Thus far, general fund revenue totals $11.34 million and looks to add another $90,000 through investment interest and possible tax payments. Meanwhile, general fund expenditures to date are $6.52 million with another $5.01 million expected, mostly by way of recapture payment to the state, payroll costs, utilities, custodial services and fuel.
