MAEFAIRS is now available to report information for the FY 2020 Trustees Financial Summary (TFS) and FY 2021 Budget. Please click on the following link for access: CLICK HERE
NOTE: Please be aware of a recent update that may affect your district’s transportation fund budgeting process:
The Montana State Governor has dedicated $10 million to districts for COVID related transportation expenses. Eligibility to receive these funds will require districts to budget a particular way in the transportation fund. The specific mechanism for distribution is not finalized at this time. The OPI recommends that districts delay entering transportation budget information until further guidance is made available.
NOTE: Do Not login with Citrix password information. Your user name is your first initial and last name, with no space in between the two (for example: JDoe). If you have lost or forgotten your password, please click on the “Forgot Your Password” link. Enter your user name and e-mail and click on the Submit button. A new password will immediately be e-mailed to you.
Once you have logged in successfully, follow the steps below to access TFS/Budget:
- Click on the Data Entry tab
- Hover your curser down to the Trustee Financial Summary (TFS). Another menu box will slide open. Choose Step 1: Prefilled Data Verification (Districts Only).
- Highlight your district or click on the Select All Districts button, then click on the Print to PDF button.
Once you have verified your information on the Prefilled Data Report, you may move on to the other TFS and Budget steps. Special education cooperatives may begin TFS data entry with Step 3 and do not complete the Budget data entry.
A completed, printed, and signed copy of the FY 2020 TFS is due to the county superintendent by August 15, 2020. FY 2021 Budget reports are due to the county superintendent within 3 days after the budget adoption meeting 20-9-131 MCA. School districts must then submit both reports electronically to the Office of Public Instruction no later than September 15, 2020.
