Financial Responsibilities

     The Music Boosters budget for 2010-2011 is estimated at about $75,000. Some programs require more financial support than others. A fully-funded budget assists the school and district with such costs as specialist salaries, materials, licenses for music and field drills, competition entry fees and local travel costs. It also covers expenses associate with the non-profit corporate status and approved long term expenditures in support of the program.
