Families, enroll your incoming kindergarteners for the 2026-27 school year by May 13, 2026, and be eligible to WIN a backpack filled with school supplies for your little one!
I am pleased to share that the School Board has approved the recommended budget for the 2026-27 school year, and I want to take a moment to speak to you personally about what this means for our district.
After years of careful financial decisions, the District is entering FY27 on stronger footing. The proposed budget invests in students by reducing class sizes across all grade levels, adding 30 teaching positions, restoring key programs like elementary instrumental music, and expanding learning supports districtwide.
