The Hawai‘i State Bộ Giáo dục’s budget plays a crucial role in supporting student success and maintaining the quality của our public school system. Our budget is divided into two main parts: the operating budget and the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget.
Appropriation → | → Allocation → | → Allotment → | → Expenditure |
Resources that have been or are in the process của being approved by the Legislature and have become law. (Legislative Reference Bureau – The Ngân sách Process) | Appropriation amounts provided (“allocated”) to programs to create expenditures plans. Allocated amount could be less than Appropriation due to restrictions set forth by the Governor or by the Department depending on the fiscal conditions của the time. | Once the Expenditure plans are completed and approved, resources are loaded (“allotted”) into the Financial Management System allowing programs to begin spending their allotted resources. | Actual use của the resources for payroll and by either purchasing or encumbering goods or services. |
The $2.18 billion operating budget for fiscal year 2024-25, primarily funded by state tax revenue, covers the day-to-day operations của schools and củafices, from teacher salaries to classroom resources. Meanwhile, the CIP budget focuses on the development, maintenance and upgrading của school facilities, funded almost entirely through state bonds.
Together, these budgets ensure that our schools are equipped to provide a safe, engaging and effective learning environment for all students. Learn more about the Department’s budgets below.
