Welcome to the Cornell School District General Fund Budget Page
The Cornell School District Business Office is committed to ensuring that our financial planning and resource allocation align with the district's Strategic Plan to maximize the potential of all learners. Each year, the General Fund Budget is developed through a comprehensive and collaborative process guided by the PA School Code of 1949, the timeline of events related to Act 1 of 2006, and the legislative work of our dedicated Board of Directors. This process reflects our mission to manage district resources with the highest standards of effectiveness, accuracy, and integrity, while supporting the district's long-term goals. By aligning financial decisions with our Strategic Plan, we ensure that every dollar is invested in fostering student success and maintaining transparency and accountability for our stakeholders.
