There are a few projects in motion, a major one is participating in the Community Budget Review Committee of the district. ​​The CBRC members review, evaluate, and make recommendations to the school board regarding the Superintendent's proposed budget and any other budgetary issues the CBRC or the school board identify. The CBRC also monitors and advises the school board on the allocation and expenditure of Local Option Levy funds. You can learn more by visiting the Community Budget Review Committee webpage.
