Budget Information
The Budget and Financial Analytics division is responsible for preparation of the annual operating budget for Loudoun County Public Schools. The Code of Virginia requires that a school division Superintendent submit to the governing body, with the approval of the School Board, an estimate of the funds needed during the next fiscal year for support of the public schools. In Virginia, School Divisions are fiscally dependent on the local governing body which for Loudoun County Public Schools is the County Board of Supervisors.
