Fiscal Responsibility<br />
RUSD is keeping our commitment to hold the line on taxes and provide our community a conservative, efficient and priority-focused fiscal plan while<br />
improving student achievement. We carefully target our dollars to have the greatest impact on the classroom and student learning. When compared<br />
to the state average, a higher proportion of RUSD expenditures have been for educational purposes while District per pupil spending is below the<br />
state average. Below are a few examples of how our budget has positively impacted our schools.<br />
