BUDGET INFORMATION MEETING - February 15, 2012
As part of the West Hempstead Board of Education’s goal to “collaborate with the West Hempstead community in the area of budget development and information,” the district administration will be holding a Budget Information Evening on February 15, 2012. This meeting will be held in the West Hempstead Middle School Café and will begin at 7:30 PM. The focus for the evening will be the revenue side of the 2012/13 school district budget. All residents, parents/guardians, students, administrators, teachers and professional staff are invited to attend. This will be the third in a series of budget meetings hosted by the District Administration. Two prior budget cafés took place on November 29, 2011 and January 10, 2012. The initial meeting asked participants to focus upon “what they valued” in the West Hempstead educational program and the second meeting asked participants to prioritize spending based upon those values. We look forward to meeting with the community in February to continue our mutual effort to budget prudently, while providing the students of West Hempstead an excellent educational program and experience.
