School District 52 to start Budget consultation process in late January

The path towards the 2019 Budget for School District 52 will start up in January, as School District officials host the first of what will be four sessions to help them craft their financial plan for the next school year.

The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 31st, with the School District planning for a 'World Cafe' format for review and discussion with the General Public starting at 7PM.

The opening consultation session in the Multi Purpose room of Charles Hay Secondary will allow participants to gather in smaller groups to share their thoughts or concerns about how the School District should craft its 2018-19 budget.

The process will then move in February, with a meeting on February 22nd that will bring together the various partner groups to review the evolution of the budget.

March 5th marks the date for the Public Meeting to chart the progress of the Budget discussions, with the April 10th Regular Board Meeting marking the final overview from the School District officials prior to submitting the document for approval.
