The development of the 2021-2022 General Fund Operating Budget officially began on November 18, 2020 with the presentation of the Budget Principlesdocument to the Board of Education.
At the December 16 meeting, the Board was presented with the 2021-22 Budget Goalsdocument. As we progress through the development process, we will be guided by these documents which, in sum, suggest that we will provide the best possible program opportunities to our students within the confines of the tax paying community.
The Board of Education approved a proposed budget at the April 21, 2021 Board of Education meeting. The final budget presentation is posted at the link to the left.
