FUNDING CHALLENGES Our budget for next year will be based on • What is best for our students • Our District Mission, Vision and Goals • Maintaining as comprehensive a program as possible • Sustainability—which is our ability to meet current needs and prepare for the educational challenges of the future
FUNDING CHALLENGES • My responsibilities • Define reality • Do what is best for our students • What I ask of you: • Continue to do the great work that you have done so far this year • Understand that all funding scenarios contain variables and uncertainties • Communicate known truths, don’t pass on things you do not know are accurate statements • Talk to, not about, people
