📰 301 Budget Blueprint: A Safety Net for Stability — Working Cash Fund (Fund 70)

In this edition of 301 Budget Blueprint, we’re spotlighting the Working Cash Fund — a behind-the-scenes but important tool that helps ensure financial flexibility and stability across Central 301.

The Working Cash Fund does not have any direct expenditures. Instead, it provides the district with a safety net for temporary internal loans or cash flow support when timing issues arise between expenses and revenue.

This allows the district to:

  • Avoid short-term borrowing with interest
  • Ensure bills are paid on time
  • Maintain uninterrupted operations
  • Sustain long-term financial health

Where Does the Money Come From?

  • Local tax levy
  • Interest income

Much like an emergency fund in a household, the Working Cash Fund plays a quiet but crucial role — ensuring that the district can remain nimble in the face of timing delays or urgent needs without impacting students or staff.
