Dear Staff, Parents & Community Members,
As we have all heard by now that our state and national economies are in trouble. Long term forecasts predict our state's budget deficit will impact education across the state for at least the next few years. Sadly, as a result of the economy, our expiring grants, and our low cash reserve caused by past levy failures, we have to begin planning for adjustments to some of the programs we will offer next school year. Parents, staff and the district's finance committee (made up of parents, local business leaders and staff) have made initial recommendation that will help guide the administration and board as we modify programs for the 2009/10 school year.
Below you will find a time line of upcoming events:
