Fiscal Budget
The budget process for Washington State school districts is governed by state law (chapter 28A.505 RCW), regulations (chapter 392-123 WAC), and instructions provided by the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). Within this structure, the Bethel School District Board of Directors formally adopts its annual budget prior to the start of each school year. The budget format as prescribed by OSPI is commonly referred to as the F-195 Report. The district’s budget includes five governmental fund types: the General Fund, Associated Student Body Fund, Debt Service Fund, Capital Projects Fund, and Transportation Vehicle Fund.
The annual budget is summarized in this brief, easy-to-understand single-page trifold. It includes descriptions and funding levels for each fund, a graphic break-down of major revenue and expenditure estimates by category, and the district’s estimated average, daily costs to educate a child by major cost category.

Enrollment Reports
Enrollment counts are the starting point used in state funding formulas to calculate allocations to schools for basic education and other programs.
Enrollment Basics
The District reports monthly enrollment (FTE) to the School Apportionment & Financial Services (SAFS) section of the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) for the purpose of funding the school district.
The District has a specific day each month, September through August, on which to capture the number of enrolled students at each school. Kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) enrollment count dates are as of the fourth school day of September and the first school day of October through August. These monthly counts are averaged over the course of the school year and used to determine the districts' state funding.

ESSER Funds
Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funding is aimed at helping school districts nationwide recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Congress has sent one-time federal funding to school districts. School districts need immediate, short-term funds for health and safety improvements, learning enhancements and support and other programs that help students get back on track with their learning.
ESSER funding does have limitations. School districts get the money once and can spend it over three years. School districts cannot cover current, routine district costs. Because the money runs out, school districts cannot use the funding for expenses that will last beyond three years.
