Welcome to our first-ever Numbers Edition of the FZSD community newsletter. Each year at this time the district sets its budget for the upcoming fiscal (school) year, as required by law, before that year starts on July 1. We hope you find this a user-friendly breakdown of some important points, including:
The average cost to educate a student.
The district’s achievement.
Where the district gets its resources.
FY25 expenditures.
How teacher salaries compare with the county.
The impact of the Senior Tax Credit.
The law requires Board of Education approval of the original budget (in June), and of two subsequent revisions each year (in December and in May) to ensure members are aware of the district’s financial health. As is required by law, these are available on our website. In addition, a budget update is a regular part of every monthly meeting.
