FY 2023 Proposed Budget Book (PDF)

Development and planning of the budget are a year-long undertaking consisting of discussions and modifications. The budget approval process features three significant milestones; the Superintendent's Presentation of the Proposed Budget, the Adoption of the Approved Budget, and the Adoption of the Final Budget.

The ACPS budget is funded in two parts; Combined Funds (CF) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budgets.

The Combined Funds Budget consists of three separate funds; Operating, Grant and Special Projects, and School Nutrition.
