The MAUSD Board has also prepared some Frequently Asked Questions to help explain the proposed budget. I am sharing two FAQ's below. You can find the full document on the MAUSD website (http://www.anesu.org/).

A: This budget focuses on improving the Academic, Social & Emotional Outcomes, our ENDS (goals) for students. It ensures equity in both Opportunities & Outcomes for students. This budget reinforces the use of resources wisely to build sustainable systems in our schools and work to address issues of equity, across PreK - 12.
