Presentation: What Happens When a School Budget Doesn't Pass?

The Agency of Education has prepared a [slide deck] and [one page handout] providing clarifying information for districts without a passed budget. These resources provide both statute and plain language context for districts without a passed budget as of July 1, 2024.  There are a few components to consider and plan for when a district does not have a passed budget by the beginning of a new fiscal year. 

The intent of these resources is to help districts navigate budget information sessions, and respond to misperceptions about what happens if a district starts a new fiscal year without a budget.
