The
Piqua City Schools budgetary process is prescribed by the Ohio Revised
Code and entails the preparation of documents within an established
timetable. The major documents are the appropriation resolutions, the
certificate of estimated resources, the five-year forecast, and the tax
budget. Each is prepared on the budgetary basis of accounting. The
appropriations resolution, the certificate of estimated resources, and
the five-year forecast may be amended throughout the year, with the
legal restriction that appropriations cannot exceed estimated resources
as certified.
All
funds, other than agency funds, are legally required to be budgeted and
appropriated. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund
level and any modifications at this level may only be made by resolution
of the Board of Education.
We
have included, for your convenience on this web site, the Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR), as well as the minutes of Board of
Education meetings. All of these reports have been prepared and
compiled by the District Treasurer and chief financial officer, Jeffrey
W. Price. If at any point you have a question, please do not hesitate
to call him at (937)778-4512. You will also find some of the Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about school finances, including current grants, and the Piqua City Schools below.
