Finance

DeWitt Public Schools operates on a fiscal year that begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. The board of education approves an annual operating budget no later than June 30 for the upcoming year. The budget is presented at a public hearing, usually scheduled to coincide with the June school board meeting.

The State of Michigan determines school funding. The amount of money each district receives is determined by a formula implemented with Proposal A, in 1994. DeWitt Public Schools receives the lowest per pupil foundation grant allowance, allowed by law. This amount is determined each year by the state.
