Each community college district's board must adopt an annual budget by the first quarter of the fiscal year to cover necessary expenses and liabilities. The budget should detail the specific objects and purposes along with the associated costs. Boards can transfer up to 10% of total funds between budget items as needed. Revenue sources include local property taxes, ICCB grants, and tuition fees, while expenditures are categorized across various funds and functions like salaries, benefits, supplies, and maintenance. Proper budget management ensures transparency and accountability in financial reporting.
