Dear
Colleagues:
As you may be aware,
the district is working through the most recent round of under-funded
legislative actions and developing a plan to address the reductions necessary
for next year’s operational budget. We value all positions, programs, and
services for students; thus, it is a most difficult process to try and determine
what areas to reduce and to what extent.
We hope to have a more
refined plan ready to share with everyone on or about April 23rd.
We will send that out via e-mail. Even that plan will not be
final and it will get more review. Then in May, the concepts will be
presented and discussed in more depth at some open public meetings similar to
last year’s process, with a sincere opportunity for input.
Any interested persons
in our schools or community are very welcome to attend those meetings; we will
be sharing the dates once they are established. These meetings will likely
happen later in May when we have more information.
Thank you again for
your caring and competent service. Your patience and understanding as we
work collaboratively through this process are greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Nick
