Direct classroom support is being prioritized as much as possible for optimal student learning environments. Community members can read more about areas where reductions are being made on the district website.

    Annually, our School Board adopts a budget for the upcoming school year that guides our staff in how funds are spent on instructional programs for students. This budget is initially put together by the Superintendent and District staff.  The Budget Committee then reviews the plan and gathers feedback from our local community. After the review and possible revisions, the Budget Committee approves the financial plan and forwards it to the School Board with the recommendation that it be adopted. The School Board may or may not make changes, and then adopts the budget. This becomes the guide for spending for the coming year for the District. Budget Committee members are asked to attend five to six evening meetings beginning in the spring to review the proposed budget. To see a list of Budget Committee members or the Budget Calendar, please visit our Budget Committee Webpage.
