The Budget Department is the primary steward of public funds to the Division

The Budget Department annually leads the development of both the General Operating Budget and the Capital Improvement Plan for Richmond Public Schools. These documents are put forth by the Administration before being approved by the School Board and, ultimately, the City Council. To support this, the Budget team develops sound fiscal-management practices to effectively and efficiently allocate resources to meet the needs of the school division. 

Additionally, the Budget Department produces the Annual Superintendent’s Report, as well as a handful of other required annual reports for submission to the Virginia Department of Education.

The Budget Department is responsible for:

  • Budget preparation and refinement
  • Annual fiscal reporting
