Rule 3112 – Budget Administration

Budget transfers within control groups, commonly budgetary locations, may be approved by the Chief Financial Officer, with the exception of capital appropriation budgets.

Administering Capital Appropriations

For purposes of this rule, capital appropriation budgets shall be defined as those items budgeted and accounted for in budgetary codes that require capitalization under rules, policies or guidelines of the ÁùºÏ²Ê½á¹û½ñÆÚ, Department of Public Instruction and/or United States Government.  Transfers to or from such budgetary accounts would be approved using the process for transferring between dissimilar account types.

All capital appropriation budgets must maintain a three year plan that shall be reviewed, amended and approved by the Superintendent or designee as necessary as part of the annual budget process.  The Chief Financial Officer shall establish guidelines in the development of such plans and approve changes throughout the year that have a financial impact on the ÁùºÏ²Ê½á¹û½ñÆÚ.  Any plan modifications require the approval of the Superintendent.

All budgeted and planned capital appropriations must be made by January 1st of each budget year.
