Westport Public School Budgets
The Philosophy Behind a School Budget
The Board of Education's annual operating budget is more than a thick volume of numbers. It does more than provide for the schools' day to day operations: it supplies the means to achieve short and long-range goals; it also fosters ongoing improvement by its support of the Board's strategic goals. The budget is, in a sense, a tangible manifestation of the philosophy and aspirations of the school system.
