Budget Advisory Committee

In 2006 The MDUSD Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) was created with the purpose of having a group of people to help Board members and administrators communicate information about District finances. Ultimately, its role would be to:

  • Understand the budget development process 
  • Discover how the budget is the reflection of the district's educational programs
  • Articulate the components of the districts budget to constituents
  • Provide input on budget enhancements and reductions.

In a new infographic, PACE author Carrie Hahnel uses 12 simple charts to break down how California funds its schools and why the state’s wealth fails to make its way into the education system.
