Business Department
Welcome to the Fort Wayne Community Schools Budget Page. Here, you will find information on the District's finances and budget.
Fort Wayne Community Schools strives to operate with fiscal responsibility, integrity and effectiveness. The District budget focuses first on expenses that affect academic achievement.
In 2009-10, FWCS spent 71% of its budget in the classroom, compared to a state average of 58.7%. Even in times when funding is uncertain, FWCS remains committed to maintaining a classroom spending level that is above the state average.
Money Saving Suggestions
Last year, FWCS began taking suggestions from employees on ways to save money in the district. That later expanded to taking suggestions from the entire community.
Below are the suggestions we received, separated by whether we used them or not and explanations for each. Another category includes suggestions we are still considering.
FWCS appreciates all the suggestions and thanks those who took the time to submit them.
Make a suggestion!
We value your comments and sugestions. If you have an idea that you feel would help us manage the budget while maintaining quality education for our students, please share it with us.
