Background:
|
|
In February 2025, the Board approved a preliminary budget timetable. As Superintendent Cassellius undertakes her initial review of the district's budget, its needs, and the resources it will require, the Administration is requesting an updated timeline that allows the superintendent the time to develop a thorough and thoughtful budget proposal for the 2025-2026 school year while also meeting our statutory requirements.
The administration will be reviewing all aspects of the district’s operations and budget and will present to the board, throughout May and June, proposals to restructure the district’s leadership team, streamline operations, and address emerging issues pertaining to lead abatement so that all students have access to safe schools and the services and supports to be successful. Under the proposed timeline, the Superintendent’s Proposed Budget will be considered for adoption by the Board on June 26, 2025.
A revised timetable is attached for the Board's consideration. Presentation of this revised timetable remains in compliance with State Statute 119.16 (8) Board Duties Budget and Board Governance Policy 2.05 Board Planning Cycle, which states, "A Board calendar with all work displayed on the timetable will be developed annually.” |
