Meet the Superintendent - State of the District, Finances, and More
October 3 at 7 p.m. OR October 4 at 9:30 a.m.
I will be highlighting the following:
- My background and leadership perspective
- Broad overview of learning and achievement in the District
- District financial status and projections
- Seeking Feedback on a Framework for Budgetary and Expenditure Decisions
The last two items are ones where I am seeking direct feedback from parents and staff. As you may know, the District is facing mounting financial challenges. I will be explaining those in some detail and seeking feedback from you about how to approach our budget for next year. Please mark your calendar and try to make one of these sessions.
