COMMUNITY FISCAL PLANNING LISTENING SESSION TOMORROW!!! We will be conducting listening sessions for the board to hear from community members regarding Scenario IIA for addressing the long-term stability of the district. This is a great opportunity for our community to better understand how closing one elementary school, restructuring our 4K-(4 or 5) district boundaries, and making changes to middle school and high school operations, will impact families. This also provides a forum for our community to inform the decision making process and learn more about each of our elementary schools. For more information on the fiscal planning process, please visit kmsd.edu/fiscal-planning.
KMSD FISCAL PLANNING LISTENING SESSIONS!!! We will be discussing the updated scenario plans in greater depth at the April 29th School Board meeting and conducting community listening sessions on May 1st and 8th from 6-8pm and on May 17th from 9-11am to get broader input from our KM Community! If you would like to learn more about our fiscal planning process, ask questions, or review the details of our potential scenarios, please visit kmsd.edu/fiscal-planning for more information.
