Budget Development Process

The purpose of budget development is to estimate the funds required to operate the school departments educational and support programs for the coming year.

Following the Brookline School Committee’s Budget Directives and Financial Guidelines, a budget is prepared and forwarded to the Committee for approval annually. Once approved, the budget is forwarded to the Town’s Advisory Committee and Town Meeting for review and bottom line approval.
