§ 6.05. Budget and six-year plan.

(a)

The superintendent of schools shall submit to the school board at such time as the board directs a proposed budget for the next fiscal year and a proposed six-year program for capital improvements and fiscal policies. The board shall hold at least one public hearing on the proposed budget and program before they are submitted to the assembly, and at least one public hearing after assembly action if the total amount is different. The proposed budget and program shall be approved and submitted to the assembly at least 90 days before the end of the current fiscal year of the school district.

(b)

The assembly may increase or decrease the budget of the school district only as to total amount. The school district may not appropriate or otherwise incur the expenditure of any funds, regardless of the source, in excess of the total amount of the budget, as approved by the assembly, without prior approval by the assembly.

(c)

The assembly shall approve the budget of the school district as amended and appropriate the necessary funds at least 60 days prior to the end of the fiscal year of the school district. If the assembly fails to approve the school district budget and make the necessary appropriation within the time stated, the budget proposal shall become the budget and appropriation for the fiscal year of the school district without further assembly action.
