Budget Survey

The community is invited to weigh in on budget priorities for the 2010-11 school year as the district prepares for more spending reductions due to declining state revenue. An online survey (below) asks community members to answer a series of questions that require them to prioritize various district programs and support services.

Survey results will be posted on the Web site and reviewed by the school board, Superintendent Tony Apostle, and district leadership as they prepare a draft spending plan.

Background budget information

Before taking this survey, please review the 2010-11 Budget Priorities Survey presentation (pdf, 1.2Mb), which focuses on the current challenges of creating a budget. When finished, return to this page to take the survey.
