Annual School Budgets

Stay Informed

We encourage you to explore these documents to stay informed about how Winchester Public Schools budgets. Your engagement and feedback are vital as we strive to create an effective and equitable educational environment for all students.

Agendas for our upcoming School Committee and School Committee: Budget Subcommittee meetings are posted on the Town of Winchester website 48 hours before the meeting.

Regular School Committee meetings are broadcast live on WinCAM and rebroadcasted on the local cable channel, Comcast 22/Verizon 36. Prior meetings are also streamed on WinCAM under Municipal Meetings.

FY26 Preliminary Level Services Budget

What is a Level Services Budget?

Our FY26 preliminary level services budget aims to maintain the same standard of service provided in the current FY25 fiscal year, with adjustments for known and projected changes as of January 23, 2025.

FY26 Recommended Budget

Our recommended budget will build on the Level Services Budget to include those resources (people, materials, etc) needed to support our teachers and students. This budget will include updated numbers to reflect changes that may occur over the next several weeks, including enrollment projections, special service needs, and other items that may not be included in the Level Services Budget.

Most importantly, it will include priorities identified through engagement with our teachers, staff, parents, and broader community. The Recommended Budget will be designed to align with the considerations from our Committee and Leadership to meet our Strategic Goals, as determined by both staff and the community.

Bill Payments

Winchester Public Schools uses UniPay to process all online payments. Use our UniPay portal to pay Athletic Fees, Music lessons, Preschool Deposits & Tuition, Summer Enrichment Fees, and WHS Student Activity Fees.

 
 
 
 

Nutrition Services

Breakfast & lunch are provided each day at our schools.

Facility Rentals

The policy of the Winchester School Committee is to encourage rental use at times that do not conflict with school activities.

 

Information Technology

We envision that technology is used seamlessly for differentiated teaching and learning in Winchester's education community. Students will utilize technology as a catalyst and tool for creation, critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving. We will prepare all students to become information literate, teaching them how to find, analyze, and use information. We believe they will become life-long learners, productive, and contributing citizens in an ever more complex world.
