Waxahachie ISD operates in a fiscal year that begins on September 1 each year and ends the subsequent August 31. For a plan of spending for the District to be useful, the budget has to be a flexible and adjustable document. From time to time, plans and ideas change with new leadership, and as needs change, the budget changes. When the budget is changed within the fiscal year, it is through a budget amendment. Budget amendments that move funds between functions are approved by the Board of Trustees before they are available for use.
By posting the original board-adopted budgets, we hope to allow stakeholders to review our financial roadmap from year to year and see where we have made changes. Having multiple budgets available should enhance the end user's ability to compare budgets across multiple fiscal years.
