Community Budget Meeting…
Last spring Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a newformula for funding public schools, the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Under the LCFF school districts must show how their budget aligns with their academic plan. The Redwood City School District is seeking input from parents and staff as we begin to develop the 2014 Budget. You are invited to participate in one of two sessions on Thursday, January 23 at 9:00-11:00am or 6:30-8:30pm at the Fair Oaks Community Center – 2600 Middlefield Road to help the District prioritize spending in key areas: student achievement, student engagement, school climate,basic services and Common Core State Standards. These meetings are a continuation of the LCFF Community Engagement effort that began with Community Information Meetings held during November, December and early January. In addition, parents and staff will have the opportunity to provide input in a confidential survey to be conducted later in January.
