We will continue the budget conversation this coming Wednesday at East Montpelier Elementary School at 6:15 pm, PLEASE JOIN US.

The budget planning has been particularly challenging this year, as it will continue to be for the next several years. Our declining enrollment, the rate of inflation and the common level of appraisal are just a few of the factors that weigh heavily this year, as we budget together. The good news is that we have a strong leadership team, committed staff, engaged community members and a School Board that is making the best decisions they can using an equity lens and the best data available to them. While guided firmly by student needs and staying centered on our 3 guiding principles. (Academic Excellence, Healthy Schools, Humanity and Justice) The School Board and the leadership team honors our small school and we recognize that we have amazing opportunities to create innovative initiatives together. We have to do this together with you and model wrestling with ideas and hard realities TOGETHER.

Please take a look at the packet of information. Look at the memo that starts on page 4 and it has answers to a lot of the frequently asked questions we are receiving.

Your School Board
