Department Allocations

The MPS expense budget has two main components: school allocations and department allocations.

While school allocations represent the budgets provided directly to schools, department allocations consist of several components including funding for central office functions, districtwide supports and services, some school-based staffing and non-salary expenses, and other district obligations.

Department allocations are sorted by division per the MPS organizational structure. By clicking on the department budget page, you can view the proposed allocation, staffing, non-salary items, and a breakdown of how much of the department's proposed budget expense is considered school support, student support, central operations, capital, or other.
