Lemon Grove board approves agenda, hears annual budget priorities workshop

The Lemon Grove Governing Board met in special session on March 5, 2024. The board approved the meeting agenda and then received an Annual Budget Priorities Workshop presented by Interim Superintendent Marianna Vinson and Chief Business Official Sheree Stopper. No members of the public addressed the board during the agendized public comment period.

Trustee Cheryl Robertson moved to approve the agenda; Trustee Dorinda Miller seconded.

The meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m.

The agenda lists the primary substantive item as an "Annual Budget Priorities Workshop," presented by Interim Superintendent Marianna Vinson and Chief Business Official Sheree Stopper. The posted minutes record that the workshop was presented but do not include specifics — such as proposed budget priorities, dollar amounts, recommended program changes, or a timeline for the district's budget development. Because the transcript provides no further detail, readers should treat this as notice that the board received a workshop rather than as documentation of any new policy or spending decision.
