Prepopulated 2021-22 Budget Workbook

Friday, April 16, 2021

 

The process and requirements for Wisconsin school districts to adopt their budgets are laid out in s. 65.90, Wis. Stats.. Budgets must identify planned revenues, expenditures, and fund balances for the school year, and must also include actual data for the two preceding fiscal years. Budget detail is based upon the Wisconsin Uniform Financial Reporting Requirements (WUFAR) fund accounting system.

To assist districts in the budget process, the SFS Team developed a “65.90” Budget Hearing and Adoption Excel workbook. Blank and prepopulated versions are available on our Budget Hearing and Adoption page. The prepopulated version for use with 2021-22 school year budgets includes final, audited 2019-20 PI-1505 Annual Report data on file with DPI. A district using the prepopulated workbook for 2021-22 will need to enter its own 2020-21 unaudited and 2021-22 budgeted data (make sure to update both the “Budget Adoption Format” and “Initial Data” tabs). The workbook also contains information on budget hearing and adoption timelines.
