Budget Priorities Survey 2025

As we plan for the 2025-26 school year, we want to hear from you. With the reductions we made last year and support from families, community and staff, we continue to work toward a better financial position. Based on our continued declining enrollment, we will need to make adjustments to expenditures and staffing since we are serving fewer students.

We remain mindful of the need to prioritize spending and ensure long-term financial stability. The district continues to see a decline in enrollment which is expected to continue for the next three years. Your feedback is crucial in helping us make thoughtful decisions with the resources available.

Please take a few moments to complete the survey linked below. Your input will help us identify priorities as we continue to support our students, staff, and community.
