Business Services Financial Portal
Menlo Park City School District partners with OpenGov to provide an interactive platform for exploring District financial data. Using the same information presented to the Board and the State, the tool displays revenues and expenditures from the current year back to the 2005-06 fiscal year through easy-to-understand charts and downloadable reports. Users can explore the data through filters and drill-downs for greater transparency. Reports align with state reporting standards and are also available through Board agendas and the District’s Annual Budget page.
For the 2025-26 school year, the District operates on an annual budget of approximately $77 million and employs about 400 staff across five campuses. Most funding, about $68.5 million, comes from local sources, including property taxes, parcel taxes, the Menlo Park Atherton Education Foundation, and community donations.
The District prepares multi-year financial projections at each reporting period and expects reserve levels to remain aligned with the Board policy. Three of the District’s four parcel taxes are evergreen, while Measure B (2021) is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2034.
Public Budget Presentations
