Stafford MSD has an annual budget of $34 million (not including bond projects). This money is used for salaries, instructional supplies, facilities maintenance, pupil transportation, and various other expenditures.
The District operates on a fiscal year beginning September 1 and ending August 31. The Board of Trustees and City Council meet regularly for seven (7) months so that the budget may effectively express and implement all goals outlined in the strategic areas. |
