EIGHTEEN Hours of Training in nine 2-hour training webinars

Gwyn Andersen and Betty Brumwell presented this budget workshop series that began with the calculation of ANB and how that drives your general fund budget, all the way through estimating and noticing of the tax impact.  You will learn to calculate the general fund budget using your district’s information and the hand sheets developed by the OPI as well as various other OPI tools.

The recordings include nine - 2 hour segments. The first session is an overview of all funds, their purpose, revenues and appropriate expenditures and each session will build on the previous session with time allowed for questions.
