Ottawa Area Intermediate School District
Section 18 (2) of the Public Act 94 of 1979, The State School Aid Act, has been amended, which requires each school district and intermediate school district to post certain information on its website within 30 days after a board adopts it annual operating budget or any subsequent revision to that budget. The Annual Budget & Transparency Reporting is an opportunity to communicate to our community on how we utilize the resources that are provided to us.
Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Board Approved Budget and Subsequent Revisions
The Ottawa Area Intermediate School District is a regional educational service agency created by the legislature in 1962 to bring about quality and equitable educational opportunities to students and schools throughout the state. We provide leadership, programs, and services which complement and enhance the efforts of constituent school districts in extending educational opportunities to all students. Together we maximize resources, share best practices, solve problems, and save time and money.
The Ottawa Area ISD, which is comprised of 742 square miles of primarily Ottawa and parts of Allegan and Muskegon counties, currently serves eleven K-12 public school districts, six public charter schools and 23 non-public schools. Our programming reflects a system of lifelong learning which serves children from birth to age 26, and adult students of all ages.
Because the OAISD serves the educational needs of our constituent local districts, local school board members elect OAISD board members. The OAISD budget is adopted by the board of education no later than June 30 of each year. This budget is then posted on our website within 30 days of adoption. Any subsequent budget amendments are also posted within 30 days.

Retirement costs are state mandated. To lower costs, the OAISD has increased co-pays for health insurance and reduced benefit programs for health insurance for all staff. Insurance costs include health, dental, vision, long-term disability and life.
