How Much Is Enough? Sizing a District's Fund.

Vidlicka, Sandra R.; Hartman, William T.

School Business Affairs, v60 n2 p4-9 Feb 1994

The purpose of an unreserved fund balance is to provide funds for expenditures not included in a district's budget or to make up for revenues anticipated but not received. A model developed to determine the appropriate size of the unreserved fund balance for school districts was tested with simulations in 498 Pennsylvania school districts. (MLF)
