The Board of Education enters the final phase of budget planning for 2020/21.
Public Comment on the budget is still requested at BoEPublicComment@RSD17.org
On May 5th the Board gave consent to move forward with the latest version of the budget proposed by Superintendent Hageman. This budget, which is not final, proposes cuts that bring the Net Budget 1.53% LOWER than the 2019/20 budget: http://www.rsd17.org/district/documents/boe/agendas/2020/2020-21%20BUDGET%20POTENTIAL%205.5.20.pdf
