ASBO New York Partner Frontline (Forecast5) Presents Monthly Data & Analytics Tip

Wednesday, April 2, 2025  
April showers bring May flowers and the heart of budget season for school districts. At this point, you probably have a good idea what your budget will look like, dollar-wise. But what about your presentation to the public? While the entire process can feel very labor-intensive, putting together a polished, comprehensive budget presentation doesn’t have to be.

The FY26 Proposed Budget General Fund Finances at a Glance and Budget Presentation PowerPoint are two great outputs from our Financial Planning Analytics tool that can help districts create eye-catching, easy-to-read visuals with just a few clicks.

 

The FY26 Proposed Budget General Fund Finances at a Glance provides a high-level budget to budget comparison for both revenues and expenses in bar graphs while pulling in some historical information for context. The Budget Presentation is in Power Point and provides revenue and expense budget analysis at various levels (think Source level for revenues and Object/Function levels for expenses). Visuals in the PowerPoint include pie and bar charts and all slide decks can be easily customized. 
 
 
Simply send us your preliminary budget in Excel and these visuals automatically update with your districts data. Stop spending countless hours creating your budget presentations and more time fine-tuning your message and key points.
