The Newberg Public School Budget Committee begins the process of developing the budget for the following school year in February. Budgets are a district’s best estimate of what revenues and expenditures are for a fiscal year.

In Oregon, the Local Budget Law and Oregon Administrative Rules set standard procedures for preparing, presenting and administering local government budgets. All government agencies, including schools, must follow them. No local public agency can spend money or levy taxes until it complies with the Local Budget Law.
