BUDGET CONTROL
As a means of
providing flexibility in the administration of the General Fund budget, the
Board of Education establishes a system of variable budget control. Each
appropriation account shall include within its coding a definition of the
flexibility allowed in the expenditure of that appropriation. In general, the
level of control shall provide the broadest flexibility consistent with law and
the intent of the board in appropriating the funds.
Budget
administrators shall be advised periodically of the conformity of their
expenditures to the budget approved by the Board of Education. When it is
necessary to exceed the control limit established by the board, a request for
transfer of funds must be recommended by the superintendent for board approval.
The Assistant
Superintendent, Administrative Services, shall maintain a control of all
expenditures by major accounts and shall recommend transfers to the
superintendent as necessary to comply with the requirements of Education Code
20951.
This policy
in no way alters the responsibility of budget administrators to comply with all
other laws, contractual obligations, board policies and administrative
procedures relating to the expenditure of funds.
