The Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD) FY26 Budget Committee appreciates the input from the initial survey and is now asking for your response by ranking DVUSD budget priorities for next school year (FY26). In light of the M&O Override not being renewed and an expected reduction of students, the District has to build a balanced budget with the realization of fewer dollars in FY26. From the initial survey, the top priorities included preserving salaries and ensuring staff are impacted as minimally as possible. We ask that you complete this forced-ranking of the following budget items, with a 1 indicating this should be considered as a reduction and a 9 as the one you want to preserve over the other options.

Thank you for your time and continued support of DVUSD!
