Dear Champlain Valley School District Community Members and Voters,

I am reaching out to you as a member of CVSD's Board of Directors with information about the proposed 2024-2025 school year budget. I hope you'll take the time to read this message and access additional materials to get informed before voting on or before Town Meeting Day, March 5.

This year has presented significant challenges and complexities regarding our proposed budget. Initiated by the school board and administration in line with Act 127, the new education funding law passed in 2022, the budget development process began in September. However, considerable changes arose in late January. Rather than attempt to explain what has transpired in a lengthy post here, we've compiled a series of articles from recent months published by local media and state representatives. These can be found at the bottom of the Budget page on the district's website: https://www.cvsdvt.org/budget.

Carefully crafted over an extended period with community input and our students' best interests at heart, the CVSD School board and administration support this proposed budget. For further insights into the budget, we encourage you to explore the available resources on our website.

Please reach out to the CVSD School Board with any questions. cvsdschoolboard@cvsdvt.org or use the School Board or Budget Let's Talk topics https://www.cvsdvt.org/page/268. On behalf of the CVSD School Board, we appreciate your generous support.

Thank you,
Lindsay Colf

Please join the CVSD Annual Meeting on Monday, March 4, 2024, at 5:00 at CVU.
