Clinton Public School District

The Clinton Public School District’s annual budget will enter its twelfth year without seeking any tax or millage increase.

CPSD superintendent Dr. Andy Schoggin and district financial director Libby Callegan presented the district’s annual budget that was previously approved in July by the CPSD Board of Trustees. 

“We allocate our fund balance in strategic ways,” Callegan said, “using those funds in the right ways for our students.”

Callegan said over 70 percent of the annual budget goes to salaries.

“We’ve always allocated the lion’s share of our resources to people, and making sure we have high quality educators in every classroom,” she said, “providing support services for every student that needs them.”

Dr. Schoggin said the district’s aim is to be as fiscally responsible with the resources allocated to the district while living up to the high expectations of parents and the community.

“Out of about 144 districts, you want to be ranked high in areas where performance counts,” Dr. Schoggin said. “But when we look at administrative costs, you really want to be on the lower end.”

Schoggin pointed out the district’s intentionality of keeping administrative costs low, ensuring allocated funds are appropriately invested in classrooms.
