Purpose:
The Operations Fund is used for equipment, maintenance, construction and repair of buildings, land acquisition, and fees for professional services. This includes many maintenance contracts, and the contract for our copier machines. We also pay more than a million dollars each year from this fund for utilities.
Additionally, the fund includes all previous uses of the Capital Projects, Transportation, and Bus Replacement Fund, as well as all Category 3 (“Overhead”) and Category 4 (“Non-Operational”) expenditures from former General Fund, including salaries & benefits for offices of superintendent, business manager, human resources, custodial, maintenance; insurance and utilities.
Revenue Sources:
More than 99% of the revenue in this fund comes from property tax and other local taxes.
