Wellesley Public Schools: Fiscal Year 2026 Budget

FINANCIAL SECTION

The Financial Section of the budget is designed to provide the reader with essential financial information, including historic, current, and projected revenue and expenses across all funding sources: general fund, grant funds, and special revenue funds.

Level Summaries

The financial section provides information in a pyramid approach to communicating the district’s financial data. This approach begins with a broad overview (Level 1) and increasingly drills down into more detailed levels (Levels 2 through 4). A brief overview of each level that will be examined in this section is outlined below.

In Level 1 through Level 3, there are eight (8) years of data provided. The three historical years data is based on the districts filing of the End-of-Year Report (EOYR) to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (MA DESE) each October. The Town’s audit firm conducts an annual audit of the school’s EOYR filing. In Level 4, the district provides five (5) years of data. The fiscal years included are described below:
