The school district is required to make its final budget available to the public, before it is presented at a public hearing and voted on by the school board.
This is supposed to happen by July 1 each year.
I requested this information from the superintendent's office last week, and have yet to hear back from them!
The final proposed budget, with the actual cuts, has not been approved yet. The list the board voted on in March was a proposed list of budget cuts, meaning that the district was to go down the list and make the cuts until a set amount of money has been saved.
If you look at that proposed list (see links at right), the superintendent's office has crossed off many of those approved cuts.
We still don't know what the budget is for next year, how much money the district can spend, how much it needs to cut from last year's budget, how much money it is receiving from the state and from federal stimulus funds.
We don't know if the superintendent's office will, after all, follow through on that approved budget cut list, or not.
Call the superintendent's office - 676-6501 - and ask for the final proposed budget.
