Budget Forums This Week - You're Invited!
The Olympia School District is in the process of developing its 2013-14 school year budget. Last week Superintendent Cvitanich presented his proposed budget to the school board (you'll find details on the OSD budget webpage). This week we are holding two community budget forums to gather your feedback on the proposed budget and hear how you think the district should prioritize its spending for the 2013-14 school year. We hope you will mark your calendars for one of these meetings:
- Tuesday, May 21 at 6:30 p.m. – Reeves Middle School, 2200 Quince St. NE
- Thursday, May 23 at 6:30 p.m. – Jefferson Middle School, 2200 Conger Ave. NW
If you have questions about the proposed budget or the upcoming budget forums, please contact the OSD Communications and Community Relations office at OSD@osd.wednet.edu or (360) 596-6103.
