Citizens' Budget Advisory Committee
2025-26 Budget Year 

The Citizens' Budget Advisory Committee's charge is to develop an understanding of the budget components through examination of revenue sources, total expenditures, fund balances and state aid. Discussions will revolve around District goals and long-term strategic planning as they relate to the budget.
