In addition to these requirements, individual school districts also may have their own legal requirements for budget preparation. Additional legal requirements also may be imposed by state and federal grants. STATEMENT OF TEXAS LAW Sections 44.002 through 44.006 of the Texas Education Code establish the legal basis for budget development in school districts. The following six items summarize the legal requirements from the code: • The superintendent is the budget officer for the district and prepares or causes the budget to be prepared. Note: TEA recommends that an interactive approach between the board of trustees and the superintendent be taken to establish the budget process and define related roles and responsibilities. • The district budget must be prepared by a date set by the state board of education, currently August 20 (June 19 if the district uses a July 1 fiscal year start date). • The president of the board of trustees must call a public meeting of the board of trustees, giving ten days public notice in a newspaper, for the adoption of the district budget. Any taxpayer in the district may be present and participate in the meeting. • No funds may be expended in any manner other than as provided for in the adopted budget. The board does have the authority to amend the budget or adopt a supplementary emergency budget to cover unforeseen expenditures. • The budget must be prepared in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and state guidelines. • The budget must be legally adopted before the adoption of the tax rate. However, if a school district has a July 1st fiscal year start date, then a school district must not adopt a tax rate until after the district receives the certified appraisal roll for the district required by Section 26.01, Tax Code. Additionally, a school district must publish a revised notice and hold another public meeting before the district may adopt a tax rate that exceeds the following: (1) The rate proposed in the notice prepared using the estimate; or (2) The district’s rollback rate determined under Section 26.08, Tax Code, using the certified appraisal roll. TEA LEGAL REQUIREMENTS TEA has developed additional requirements for school district budget preparation as follows: 2014-2015 Budget Manual BUDGET & FINANCIAL POLICIES 2 • The budget must be adopted by the board of trustees, inclusive of amendments, no later than August 31 (June 30 if the district uses a July 1 fiscal year start date). • Minutes from district board meetings will be used by TEA to record adoption of and amendments to the budget. • Budgets for the General Fund, the Food Service Fund (whether accounted for in the General Fund, a Special Revenue Fund or Enterprise Fund) and the Debt Service Fund must be included in the official district budget (legal or fiscal year basis). These budgets must be prepared and approved at least at the fund and function levels to comply with the state’s legal level of control mandates. Funds to be budgeted and reported through PEIMS, both required and optional, are shown in Exhibit 2. Note: Districts may prepare and approve budgets for other funds and/or with even greater detail at their discretion. Such local decisions may affect the need for budget amendments and financial reporting requirements. • The officially adopted district budget, as amended, must be filed with TEA through PEIMS (Public Education Information Management System) by the date prescribed in the annual system guidelines. Revenues, other sources, other uses, and fund balances must be reported by fund, object (at the fourth level), fiscal year, and amount. Expenditures must be reported by fund, function, object (at the second level), organization, fiscal year, program intent and amount. These requirements are discussed in further detail in the Data Collection and Reporting module. • A school district must amend the official budget before exceeding a functional expenditure category, i.e., instruction, administration, etc., in the total district budget. The annual financial and compliance report should reflect the amended budget amounts on the schedule comparing budgeted and actual amounts. The requirement for filing the amended budget with TEA is satisfied when the school district files its Annual Financial and Compliance Report. LOCAL DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS In addition to state legal requirements the Rio Grande City CISD Board of Trustees have established their own requirements for annual budget preparation through Board Policy CE (LEGAL AND LOCAL) Annual Operating Budget.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS The budget shall be amended when a change is made increasing any one of the functional spending categories or increasing revenue object accounts and other resources. 2014-2015 Budget Manual BUDGET PROCESS 7 OBJECTIVES OF BUDGETING The objectives of budgeting are outlined by the Texas Education Agency in the Financial Accountability System Resource Guide. Performance evaluation allows citizens and taxpayers to hold policy makers and administrators accountable for their actions. Because accountability to citizens often is stated explicitly in state laws and constitutions, it is considered a cornerstone of budgeting and financial reporting. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) recognizes its importance with these objectives in its GASB Concepts Statement No. 1 (Section 100.177): • Financial reporting should provide information to determine whether currentyear revenues were sufficient to pay for current-year services. • Financial reporting should demonstrate whether resources were obtained and used in accordance with the entity’s legally adopted budget. It should also demonstrate compliance with other finance-related legal or contractual requirements. • • Financial reporting should provide information to assist users in assessing the service efforts, costs and accomplishments of the governmental entity. Meeting these objectives requires budget preparation to include several concepts recognizing accountability. Often these concepts have been mandated for state and local public sector budgets. They include requirements that budgets should: • Be balanced so that current revenues are sufficient to pay for current services. • Be prepared in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local legal mandates and requirements. • Provide a basis for the evaluation of a government’s service efforts, costs and accomplishments. Note: Although the objective of balanced budgets is generally applicable to all school districts to ensure long-term fiscal health, variations of this objective which are considered appropriate for some school districts over short-term periods are available. For example, the balanced budget objective may be met through the use of fund balance reserves to pay for current services during certain periods. Such uses of fund balance reserves must be in accordance with applicable state and local fund balance policies. 2014-2015 Budget Manual BUDGET PROCESS 8 BUDGET PROCESS OVERVIEW The budgeting process is comprised of three major phases: planning, preparation and evaluation. The budgetary process begins with sound planning. Planning defines the goals and objectives of campuses and the school district and develops programs to attain those goals and objectives. Once these programs and plans have been established, budgetary resource allocations are made to support them. Budgetary resource allocations are the preparation phase of budgeting. The allocations cannot be made, however, until plans and programs have been established. Finally, the budget is evaluated for its effectiveness in attaining goals and objectives. Evaluation typically involves an examination of: how funds were expended, what outcomes resulted from the expenditure of funds, and to what degree these outcomes achieved the objectives stated during the planning phase. This evaluation phase is important in determining the following year’s budgetary allocations. In summary, budget preparation is not a one-time exercise to determine how a school district will allocate funds. Rather, school district budget preparation is part of a continuous cycle of planning and evaluation to achieve district goals. BUDGET PLANNING The first phase of the Budget Development Process is planning. Planning involves defining the mission, goals and objectives of campuses, departments, and the district. Importance is placed upon sound budget planning for the following reasons; • • • • In implementing the type, quantity, and quality of school district instruction, the budget becomes the limiting force. Providing quality education is very important to the public interest. The scope and adversity of school district operations make comprehensive planning necessary for good decision-making. Planning is a process that is critical to the expression of citizen preferences and through with consensus is reached among citizens, school board members, and district/campus/department staff on the future direction of a district’s operations. BUDGET PREPARATION Budget Preparation begins with a training session with principals and program managers. At that time the Budget Manual and budget worksheets are distributed. The District uses site-based budgeting to enhance the ability of principals to serve as effective instructional leaders. Site-based budgeting places the principals at the center of the budget preparation process. The Campus Budget reflects the initial campus funding allocations. Pupil allocations are based on peak enrollment for general fund allocation and special populations are based on PEIMS October snap shot date. 2014-2015 Budget Manual BUDGET PROCESS 9 EVALUATION PHASE Evaluation is the last step of the district’s budget cycle. Information is compiled and analyzed to assess the performance of each individual department and campus, as well as the District as a whole. This information is a fundamental part of the planning phase for the following budget year. 2014-2015 Budget Manual BUDGET CALENDAR RIO GRANDE CITY CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL DISTRICT TENTATIVE BUDGET DEVELOPMENT CALENDAR Target Date Activity/Process February 11, 2014 Budget process approved February 13, 2014 Projected enrollment developed February 25, 2014 Budget process outlined to principals February 27, 2014 Budget process outlined to program directors March 4, 2014 Budget process outlined to secretaries March 5,2014 Begin budget preparation for campuses, special programs and support services.

Unforeseen events or changes in priorities which occur during the year often require redirection of funds. The budget is not intended to hinder these changes. Rather, established procedures allow for necessary amendments to the school district budget. Any amendments that would change budgeted fund or function totals at the district level require formal board approval. As a result, budget amendments at the campus level must be submitted for board approval when they affect fund or function at the district level. Principals and program budget managers have been granted the authority to move budgeted funds from one expenditure object to another within a function. INSTRUCTIONS Use the attached form for both amendments and transfers. Please ensure that required information is included. The form can be downloaded at www.rgccisd.org/ Business/WEB2/businessoffice.htm 1. 2. Forward Budget Amendments to the Business Office after it has been approved by the principal and program director. 3. Budget Amendments that require the approval of the Board of Trustees will be slowed by the mechanics of the agenda process. 4. Budget Amendments not requiring board approval will be processed as they are received. 2014-2015 Budget Manual The form can be downloaded at www.rgccisd.org/Business/WEB2/businessoffice.htm. 17 PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK BUDGET PREPARATION SECTION PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 2014-2015 Budget Manual OVERVIEW OF ACCOUNT CODES 18 Section 44.007 of the Texas Education Code (Code or TEC) requires that a standard school district fiscal accounting system be adopted by each school district. The system must meet at least the minimum requirements prescribed by the State Board of Education and also be subject to review and comment by the state auditor. Additionally, the accounting system must conform with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This section further requires that a report be provided at the time that the school district budget is filed, showing financial information sufficient to enable the state board of education to monitor the funding process, and to determine educational system costs by school district, campus and program. The Texas Education Code, Section 44.008, requires each school district to have an annual independent audit conducted that meets the minimum requirements of the state board of education, subject to review and comment by the state auditor. The annual audit must include the performance of certain audit procedures for the purpose of reviewing the accuracy of the fiscal information provided by the district through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS). The audit procedures are to be adequate to detect material errors in the school district’s fiscal data to be reported through the PEIMS system for the fiscal period under audit. A major purpose of the following accounting code structure is to establish the standard school district fiscal accounting system required by law. Although certain codes within the overview may be used at local option, the sequence of the codes within the structure, and the funds and chart of accounts, are to be uniformly used by all school districts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The complete Financial Operating Guidelines can be downloaded at www.rgccisd.org/ Business/WEB2/businessoffice.htm. 2014-2015 Budget Manual 19 BASIC SYSTEM CODE COMPOSITION FUND CODE A mandatory 3 digit code is to be used for all financial transactions to identify the fund group and specific fund. The first digit refers to the fund group, and the second and third digit specifies the fund. Example: A Special Revenue Fund could be coded 211. The 2 indicates the Special Revenue Fund, the 11 specifies ESEA, Title I, Part A - Improving Basic Programs. FUNCTION CODE A mandatory 2 digit code applied to expenditures/ expenses that identify the purpose of the transaction. The first digit identifies the major class and the second digit refers to the specific function within the area. Example: The function "Health Service" is coded 33. The first 3 specifies Support Services - Student (Pupil) and the second 3 is Health Services. OBJECT CODE A mandatory 4 digit code identifying the nature and object of an account, a transaction or a source. The first of the four digits identifies the type of account or transaction, the second digit identifies the major area, and the third and fourth digits provide further sub-classifications. Example: Money received for current year taxes is classified in account 5711. The 5 denotes revenue, the 7 shows Local and Intermediate Sources, the 1 denotes local real and personal property taxes revenue and the final 1 specifies current year levy. SUBOBJECT CODE A 2 digit code for optional use to provide special accountability at the local level. ORGANIZATION CODE A mandatory 3 digit code identifying the organization, i.e., High School, Middle School, Elementary School, Superintendent’s office, etc. An organization code does not necessarily correspond with a physical location. The activity, not the location, defines the organization. Campuses are examples of organization codes and are specified for each school district in the Texas School Directory. Example: Expenditures for a high school might be classified as 001. This is a campus organization code that is defined in the Texas School Directory for that high school. FISCAL YEAR CODE A mandatory single digit code that identifies the fiscal year of the transaction or the project year of inception of a grant project. Examples: For the 05-06 fiscal year of the school district, a 6 would denote the fiscal year PROGRAM INTENT CODE A 2 digit code used to designate the intent of a program provided to students. These codes are used to account for the cost of instruction and other services that are directed toward a particular need of a specific set of students.
