The Santa School is grateful for the support that the school community has provided towards passing recommendations for inclusion of different elements into the Fiscal year 2009/2010 budget. The school fraternity is thankful to serve in an engaged and caring community. This partnership in decision-making is an important ingredient of an education system that achieves its set working goals and objectives.
The school audit committee worked tirelessly on the Fiscal year 2009/2010 budget and ended up balancing the needs of the taxpayers whilst maintaining a high level of educational planning and targeting. The internally audited budget for fiscal year 2009/2010 took into considerations inflation factors that negatively affected financial forecasting for the fiscal year 2008/2009 budget. The budget was planned to address management problems and student performance which has been below average and has resulted in great transfer of many students. The budget for the fiscal year 2009/2010 is envisioned to be a stimulus towards positive change management, improving performance index of students especially in mathematics and English.
The school resolution committee and the school board of governor during May 4th 2009 meeting abandoned construction of an additional exit/entrance to the school which had been earmarked by the fiscal year 2008/2009 budget and failed to be realized following economic recession.
The budget satisfies account balances at the beginning of the fiscal year 2009/2010 according to audit report, approved by the audit committee as a reflection of expenses and revenue for the fiscal year 2008/2009. The budget has gone through all internal audit procedures and is a product of all receipts and revenues that are expected and accounted for the fiscal year 2009/2010.

The budget has optimized overhead planning, to revenue and expenditure balances as provided for by the state department of education. The budget summarizes the 2009/2010 fiscal year proposed financial budget, policies and objectives of the budget. The student spending has been pegged at USD 14,137.61. Act 82, law enacted in 2007 requiring two votes on some elements of the fiscal budgets will not be applied to the 2009/2010 fiscal budget. This is because the Fiscal year 2009/2010 expected revenue is greater than the expected expenses by USD 289, 911.00. The overhead planning is a reserve to account for any possible economic recessions that may affect prices of products and services. The interim budget is expected to be adopted on 15th September 2009 unless otherwise advised.
