The evening will begin with a presentation by MAUSD Business Manager, Floyd Davison, followed by a community-driven discussion. Please join us to share ideas and learn more through discussion with neighbors on these 5 questions:
What questions do you have about the budget development process, or about how budget decisions will be made?
How does Mount Abraham Unified School District budget spending impact our communities?
What are the programs and supports for students and teachers that you would you prioritize in order to ensure that the proposed budget has a positive impact on learning for all students?
What solutions need to be explored to address the challenges we face?
What additional suggestions and questions do you have?
The input provided at this forum, as well as information we received at the Virtual Roundtable held on October 29- (School Strengths & Areas for Growth), will be shared at the next full board meeting (Nov. 19, 2024 6-8pm) as the board continues to develop and refine the 2025-2026 budget proposal.
