• 2011-12 Consolidated Budget Notebook

The Kershaw County School District has posted its complete 2011-12 consolidated budget notebook online to help provide a comprehensive look at the budget process.

“We have provided this spiral bound notebook to our school board members in the past,” said Kershaw County School District Superintendent Frank Morgan. “They have found the information to be very helpful so we thought that the general public would too. It’s a very comprehensive look at data that is used to make budget decisions.”

With over 100 pages, the notebook contains both district and individual school information. Local, state and federal funding sources are listed as well as grants. The General Fund budget summaries are listed both by program and object for every location. Information on the School Food Service budget and individual school’s extracurricular budgets is also included.

In addition, the notebook contains the mission statement, enrollment, building capacity and a detailed list of employee positions for all schools and the district office. Each section also contains a listing of administrative contacts and website addresses.

“We work extremely hard to be transparent with our financial information, and this is an extension of those efforts,” Morgan said. “I commend our financial department for putting all of these details into a very user friendly document. This notebook represents hours and hours of work.”

The 2011-12 KCSD General Fund budget totals more than $63.5 million. The budget notebooks for both 2011-12 and 2010-11 as well as other KCSD budget information are available at http://www.kershaw.k12.sc.us/district/finance/.
