It's Time for a New Financial Plan
 It's Time for a New Financial Plan. The Board of Trustees needs your input on the budget.
Come to any meeting that fits your schedule. Ask questions, give feedback, and help the Board identify ways to create a sustainable fiscal plan.
Why? Since 2006, the budget revenue has remained flat and capped. In 2011 expenses began exceeding revenue and reserve funds are being used.
We Need Your Voice! What do you value in the Blaine County School District and to what degree do you value programming, class size, etc.?
What insights do you have for dealing with increasing expenses while revenues remain flat? Tell us what you think.
