Fiscal & Public Accountability
We Believe in Open and Accountable Governance.
Educating more than 17,000 students is a tremendous responsibility, as is managing a total district budget of nearly $80 million. The Sunnyside Unified School District has been trusted to fulfill this mission.
The Sunnyside Governing Board and District administration are steadfast in their commitment to put students first in everything we do.
Responsible Fiscal Management
Through responsible fiscal management, we ensure as much money as possible is allocated to our classrooms and schools.
Prudent Budgeting Pays Off
By budgeting wisely and maintaining proper reserves, the District has maintained a high bond rating of AA, providing the greatest value to our District taxpayers.
Accountability
We believe in open and accountable governance. For that reason we are committed to fiscal accountability. Sunnyside will be providing our stakeholders with access to updated expenditures.
