2010 - 2011 Proposed Budget Information

 The Board of Education is beginning the budget process earlier this year by gathering information about programs and positions that were either on the proposed tiers for cuts last year or brought up by community members.  The schedule for these discussions is noted below.  Additionally, Board members have attended each building PTA meeting in September seeking feedback, and they will do the same in October.  The goal is for the Board to have the information they need so that when we get information about state aid projections in the winter they can make informed decisions about what to include in the budget for 2010-2011.
