Case Study: Columbus City Schools achieves streamlined budgeting and improved financial clarity with PowerSchool Allovue

Turning Budget Data into Clear Pictures Columbus City Schools Choose PowerSchool Allovue

Columbus City Schools (CCS), which serves about 45,000 students, faced outdated, paper-based budget processes that caused lost information and limited financial understanding beyond the finance office. Since 2023 the finance team has used Allovue to improve financial clarity for budget stakeholders and streamline non-personnel budget planning.

Allovue’s cloud-based Budget Suite consolidated site-level data into clear visualizations, eliminated paper workflows, and reduced tedious tasks and manual errors. Backed by K–12-experienced support, the platform improved districtwide budget communication, freed up resources for strategic priorities, and helped ensure funds are more directly aligned with student needs.
