Budget and Finance

Each year, the Portsmouth School Board ("PPS") assembles a budget that puts students first; PPS wants our students to succeed in school and beyond.  Our plans support the School Board’s mission to “engage all students in learning that will foster academic excellence and responsible citizenship.”
