Budget Information / Presentations

The budget for school districts is a multi-step process guided by Pennsylvania's Act 1.  Haverford's school board adopted a budget within the Act 1 Index limit established by the Commonwealth.  The District develops its budget through a series of public meetings, all of which are open to the community.

The budget presentations are available for the meetings noted above at https://go.boarddocs.com/pa/have/Board.nsf/vpublic?open.  The final budget submitted to the PA Department of Education is available on the Business Office page of the District's website under Budget Information/Presenations.

The budget supports the instructional and operational expenses needed to deliver services to the students.  Below are the items funded with the adopted budget.

  • Salaries and benefits
  • Special education services required by state and federal law
  • Instructional materials and supplies
  • Student transportation
  • Building operations, maintenance, and utilities
  • Debt service, which is payment towards debt incurred for capital improvement projects
