Budget/Financial Reports
Fiscal Transparency
At the Valley Grove School District we believe in open communication about how our school district allocates resources. On this tab you will find graphs illustrating our spending patterns compared to state and regional averages for the 2022-23 school year. We aim to provide clarity on our financial decisions, ensuring that our community understands the investments made in our students’ education. By promoting transparency, we hope to foster trust and encourage informed discussions about our district’s financial priorities.
