A budget is defined as a document that specifies the planned expenditures and anticipated revenues of a school district in a given fiscal year, along with other past and projected data and information relating fiscal elements to the educational mission, organization, policies, programs and outcomes of the district.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe Aliquippa School District is contiguous with the City of Aliquippa, located in Beaver County, approximately 25 miles north of Pittsburgh. The district encompasses 4.4 square miles. 1,350 students are educated between three buildings. Aliquippa Elementary consists of grades K- 4, Aliquippa Middle School houses grades 5 – 8 and the Senior High grades 9-12.

The district is ranked among the poorest economically in the commonwealth. Over 80% of the student population is eligible for the federal free lunch program. Over 40% of the properties in the city are rentals. Standardized test scores significantly below NCLB standards requires the district to commit resources to many extended programs, including after school tutoring, summer school and other targeted programs.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education has assigned both a Distinguished Educator team and the Johns Hopkins CDDRE team to the district for a two year period.
