The objective of the budget and finance department is to provide the most efficient and effective management of the financial affairs of the school district to ensure compliance with budgetary and reporting goals imposed by the district and other regulatory agencies. The goal of this office is to provide financial reporting that ensures decision makers, both inside and outside of the government, have the financial data they need to make responsible decisions. In addition to being responsible for a $196 million operational budget, this office also provides accountability of our progressively increasing capital budget.

The Budget Department operates under the direction of Budget Director Leslie Holman. The operating budget must be approved by the Williamson County Commission at its July meeting.
