Budget and Salary/Compensation Transparency Reporting

Thank you for visiting this new section of our website devoted to school finance and budget information. This site is part of our ongoing efforts to provide community stakeholders with important information about our district and to comply with the new Michigan Department of Education (MDE) Guidelines for Budget and Salary Compensation Transparency Reporting.

As Michigan's 7th largest school district serving more than 14,500 students, we receive the lowest per pupil foundation allowance from the state. To ensure that our school community receives the best return on their investment we are diligent in managing our financial resources and we continually look for new and innovative ways to reduce costs wherever possible.

With more than 1,730 employees, Chippewa Valley Schools is ranked as one of the largest employers in Macomb County according to Crain's Detroit Business and one of Macomb County's most sought after school districts. We offer our students a world class education in some of the finest educational facilities available in the state. Our students enjoy a challenging curriculum, including advanced placement courses, foreign language, award-winning fine arts, and a comprehensive athletic program for middle and high school. Through the generous support of our school community our 2018 Safe Schools Strong Schools Bond Proposal allows us to continue our tradition of excellence and provide our children and school community with much-needed improvements and upgrades to our security and our schools.

We take pride in our school district and the essential role we play in the continued success of our local community.
