Union High School District’s budget is a vital process in the delivery of the District’s resources to its students. The budget is the operational structure that supports our instructional mission. This document reflects both the known information from the State’s ongoing budget development process along with our local revenue projections. This proposed district budget is presented in a public hearing for community input. It addresses the goals and priorities of the District of imparting a passion for learning, teaching a complimentary set of college and career preparatory skills, and personalizing student support to ensure equitable outcomes and opportunities for all students. The priorities of the Sequoia Union High School District (SUHSD) emphasize the achievement of all students, and this budget reflects these same priorities. This budget workbook is designed to simplify what can often be a very complex, arduous task to comprehend in order for the Board to make the most informed and fiscally sound decisions. The Board Budget Study Session and corresponding workbook is also aimed at increasing transparency in all matters of business to our staff and community. Through the ongoing and expanding use of evaluation data, the SUHSD is continually reassessing its efforts and the related allocation of resources in pursuit of academic excellence.
