Work is continuing on the development of the district’s proposed 2026-27 school budget.
Based on this work, five public meetings are scheduled over the next 10 weeks where different portions of the proposed budget will be presented to the Board of Education.
These five public meetings, part of the Board’s Finance Committee meetings, always take place annually at this time of the year and precede the Board’s regular meetings.
Finance Committee meetings will be held at the Middle School Auditorium at 5:30 p.m. on these dates:
Feb. 5
Feb. 25
March 12
March 26
April 9
Each Finance Committee meeting will be videotaped and archived on the district’s website shortly after those meetings take place, allowing those who can’t attend any of them to view and listen to the detail of what was discussed. The video recordings will also be shared on the district's Facebook page.
Additionally, the May 7 Public Hearing where the Board-adopted and proposed 2026-27 school budget will be presented, be videotaped and posted.
Superintendent Brian Monahan stressed these meetings are among the most important of the school year.
“Yes, we want everyone to attend these important meetings in person and learn about the detailed, meticulous work that goes into preparing our annual school budget,” he added. “If that’s not possible, please view these meetings so you have a solid understanding of our comprehensive work.”
The links to these meetings and budget development documents will be available on this website on the forthcoming 2026-27 budget development page.
