The ABC is an advisory group which provides input, feedback and suggestions to the District. President Donna McLaughlin said of the committee, “The Board is pleased and proud that the budget has passed by an overwhelming majority since the inception of the vote, and believes that the ABC has contributed greatly to that success, through its assistance and support.”
The Committee is comprised of representatives of more than a dozen civic and community organizations and other interested individuals. The first meeting, on February 8th, will include an orientation session for new members, as well as background information. Two additional meetings with the administration and Board of Education members will follow, on February 15th and March 8th.
In past years, the Commitee has suggested areas where the School District could trim the original preliminary budget.
Meetings are held at 7:30 P.M. at Education House, 5 Homeside Lane and will include an overview of the budget as well as discussions of key issues and recommendations.
All of the meetings are open to the public. If you have any questions, please call Michele Schoenfeld, District Clerk, at 422-2071.
