Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) require that WCSD undergo an annual public budget process in which the District must develop a balanced budget for the upcoming school year. Budget staff has estimated that the district may face an initial budget shortfall of $22 to $28 million, based on preliminary revenue projections and cost estimates.  At the same time, however, the Budget Office will be incorporating a number of new budgeting techniques to close this gap and reach a sustainable, structurally balanced budget.

In preparation for the 2018-2019 school year, the Washoe County School District Board of Trustees has directed staff to get an early start on the budget process with a renewed focus on community feedback and involvement. This page is designed to provide information on how you can become involved in the budget process and make your voice heard.
