Board hears family survey on 2026–27 budget priorities; safety concerns among top comments
Summary
Staff reported the district sent a budget-priority survey via ParentSquare and the website; respondents raised several safety-related comments and asked for clearer definitions of "safe & well‑maintained facilities." Board reached consensus to keep the same priorities and will take formal action in January.
District staff summarized the 2026–27 budget-priority survey, noting distribution via ParentSquare and an auto-translation option on the website to improve accessibility.
"The survey was sent out to families via ParentSquare and was placed on our website to allow for auto-translating," staff said. Several responses highlighted safety as a concern and asked for clearer definitions of what "safe & well‑maintained facilities" means. Board members discussed whether to re‑prioritize items but reached consensus to keep the same three priorities; the board scheduled formal action on priorities for its January meeting.
Board members raised questions about whether a lack of responses indicates agreement and suggested improvements to the survey next year, including a request to identify school location in responses. No policy changes or reallocations were approved at this meeting.
