Community Input Sought for Budget

Terry BouckMarch 2009

Dear Community Members:

Thank you for your support and help in passing the recent replacement levy. We extend a huge expression of gratitude to the community for their show of confidence in the Peninsula School District.

As we shared in our recent levy presentations, the 2009-2010 budget year will be a very challenging one. We anticipate that the state will significantly reduce the amount of funding to schools. Because state funding of basic education remains our primary source of revenue, these reductions will have a serious impact on how we manage our schools on a day-to-day-basis.

Over the next few months, we will be asking for your input. We will have survey opportunities for staff, parents and the community. There will also be community forums and, finally, a public hearing. We encourage you to attend one of the scheduled meetings so your voice is heard. Your opinions will be vital in preparing this budget.

In these challenging times, we need to continue to work together to make the best out of a difficult situation. We thank you for your continued involvement and support.

Sincerely,

Terry Nelsen Bouck
