Annual BSD budget
The Final Budget for Fiscal Year 2023 provides an outline of expenditures for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The budget includes a projected June 30, 2023 balance in local funds of approximately $9.1 million. The Brandywine School District requires a fiscal year-end local fund balance of roughly $8.5 million for anticipated expenditures made prior to the receipt of tax revenues in September.
The Total Budget for FY 2023 is $240.2 million, an increase of $15.4 million, or 6.8%, over the FY 2023 Preliminary Budget of $220.5 million. The most significant increase in budget is due to $11.5 million of additional funding allocated in the FY23 State Budget for major and minor capital improvements. For non-capital expenses, the FY23 final operating budget reflects an increase of $3.8 million or 2%. This includes an additional state allocation of $637,621 for Safety and Security, an increase in transportation funding for a state salary increase for bus drivers, as well as additional Division I, II and III and related services funding due to an increase in earned units based on the final September 30 Unit Count.
