Public Invited to Attend Budget Workshops

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS is the monthly emailed publication to inform parents, students, educators, and residents in the Region 15 School District of the latest happenings related to our school system. We want to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us with your thoughts, concerns, and ideas.

Professionals who have experience in working with community leaders, residents, and other stake holders in the school budget process believe that there must be four critical factors in place at budget time: strong leadership, honest communication, clear direction and inclusion in the decision-making process.

The Pomperaug Regional School District 15 Board of Education invites all interested residents to any of the budget workshops to learn more about the 2004-05 school budget.

The Board of Education is in the process of evaluating the superintendent's budget recommendation for the 2004-05 school year.  Two more budget workshops are scheduled for March 10th and March 15^th at the District's Central Office conference room at 7:00pm.  On April 12th, residents are invited to the Board of Education Public Hearing on the Budget at Pomperaug High School cafeteria at 7:30pm.

In addition, residents are also invited to attend the Region 15 Board of Education meetings. Click below for dates:
