Budget Information & Reports
Chico Unified School District has adopted a single-budget adoption process which requires by statute a school district to conduct its public hearing and adopt its final budget by July 1 of each year (Ed Code Section 42127 as amended by AB2861, AB2185 and AB1200). The single budget adoption process also requires CUSD to revise and make available for public review, within 45 days of the Governor signing the State Budget, any revisions in revenue and expenditures that reflect the funding made available by the State Budget Act. This process is an ongoing function, addressed by both the Board and Administration, with specific activities calendared throughout the fiscal year. The statutes are intended to provide the community an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed spending plan for the coming year.
