Budget Committee
The Budget Committee is comprised of five community members and our five board members. The committee normally meets for three work sessions starting January, then several times in the spring during the budget approval process.
In order to be eligible to serve on the committee, applicants (1) must live in the District for at least one consecutive year, (2) must not be an officer or employee of the District, and (3) must be a registered voter of the District. Budget committee positions are appointed by the Board of Education for three-year terms.
