Finance and Budget Information Center
It has been a combination of factors over the past several years that led Saline Area Schools to the budget problems that we are now experiencing and it will be a combination of cooperation, creativity and perseverance that will navigate us through these tough times.
Be assured that while we look for local solutions to bolster our budget our students will continue to learn and grow in a safe, secure, high-quality environment.
This page provides current information about the financial issues that are impacting our school district. We welcome your input online via the Superintendent's Idea Box. Also, please read our page: How To Contact Government Officials.

Operating Budget and Fund
Balance
Can we use the CARES millage to balance the budget?
No. The law stipulates how these funds may and may not be used. The CARES (Cultural Arts, Recreation, Enrichment, and Senior Citizens) Millage was passed by voters as a recreation and parks millage and may not be used to fund K-12 educational expenses such as salaries for teachers, classroom aides, school secretaries, bus drivers, custodians, or administrators. Nor can they be used to purchase classroom materials, textbooks, etc.
CARES funds must be used to support recreation related programs. CARES funds are earmarked to provide annual funding to support community education, the swimming pool and performing arts center in the new High School, and the Saline Senior Citizens Center. CARES enables the District to maintain these popular community programs and provide community use of school facilities without adding cost to the general operating fund.
