FY 2023 Preliminary Budget Information
Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District (MSBSD)
MSBSD's budget development process is centered on students.
We believe in our students and their ability to do great things. We believe that our teachers are the best of the best, and that every employee in the District contributes to making a difference in the lives of students by encouraging them, empowering them, and assisting their parents to equip them with the education, skills, and experiences to help them succeed. As the FY 2023 budget is developed, the decisions made will have a direct impact on the education and experiences delivered in schools to more than 19,000 students that are expected to be enrolled throughout the District.
The purpose of this website is to distribute information about the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District's preliminary budget. The website will be available through the end of March, at which time the School Board will be taking action to adopt a balanced preliminary budget which will be submitted to the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
The graph and pie charts below document changes in the base student allocation (BSA) used in the State of Alaska Foundation Formula and also the percentage change in the proportional share of revenues provided to the District between FY 2017 and the estimated FY 2023 revenue budget. The year FY 2017 was used because the BSA has remained unchanged since that time.
