School Finance: 3 Quick Videos to Learn More about Funding, Spending, and Taxes

September 1, 2023 Posted In: FHPS District News

Public school budgets are confusing. It is important to know how schools are funded, how schools spend money, and how taxes impact schools. That is why we are sharing three videos to help our community understand school finance. After viewing the following three videos, if you still have questions, we are happy to help. In addition to these videos, you can also explore our audited financial statements, our budget, operating expenditures, personnel expenditures, and so much more. You may also contact our business office, at 616-493-8804.
