When a board of education adopts the fiscal year budget each September, it approves the spending plan for the year based on the best information available to the district administration at that time. However, unforeseen circumstances (a pandemic comes to mind) may occur during the school year that requires an amendment to the adopted budget. The mechanics of the process are similar to the procedures followed for adopting the original budget.
