Presentations will be offered at the following locations:

The presentations will be the same at each meeting. Principals and district staff will discuss and get feedback on the district’s current budget proposal for 2018-19, which the Board of Education will review at its March 1 meeting. The board is scheduled to review updates to the draft budget at its March 15 meeting, and will adopt a proposal in early April for voters to consider May 15.
The meetings will include this video presentation by Deputy Superintendent of Business and Finance Bill Hogan. Administrative representatives from the district will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have as well.
You can view the 2018-19 budget proposal presentation and the Academic Plan presentation.
