FY 2025 Proposed Budget Narrative
WV§18-9B-10 and WVDE Policy 8200
“WV board of education shall authorize the expenditure of funds and incur obligations only in accordance with the budget and the expenditure schedule.”
This budget is a living document as prepared with the input of County and School Administrator’s and departmental personnel. During this process it was asked that the county administrators and departments to begin looking at their needs over the next five years to better align resources across the county. This has permitted a better sense of long-term planning for equipment, facility and capital project needs moving forward. As decisions are made and actual economic conditions change throughout the course of the year, the budget will be amended throughout the course of the year as deemed necessary.
