District seeking public input for budget

The lengthy process of developing the budget for the 2009-2010 school year is now underway. An important date on the budget development calendar is the Community Budget Workshop. A Community Budget Workshop was held Feb. 26 in the High School cafeteria to provide tax payers with an opportunity to get involved in the budget process. Additionally, special e-mail address has been established to provide taxpayers with the means to voice their questions, comments, and other feedback about the 2009-10 budget proposal.  

The School Board is scheduled to adopt a proposed budget at its April 23 meeting.
A series of informational budget presentations will then be held throughout the community to provide taxpayers with detailed information about the proposed budget prior the May 7 Budget Hearing.
 

 Do you have a question about the budget?
Port Jervis School District residents are invited to contact the district with their budget questions and concerns.
If you have a question or want to clarify information you have heard about the proposed budget, please
e-mail  or call us 858-3180.
