Community Input Sought in Budgeting Process

Springfield Public Schools will hold a public hearing to solicit input regarding the Fiscal Year 2017 budget on Wednesday, March 16th at 5 p.m. in the library at Central High School, 1840 Roosevelt Avenue.

The district has also posted a survey on its website (www.springfieldpublicschools.com) to further solicit public participation in the budget process.

The survey asks participants to rank a number of school-related programs and services in the order they consider their importance. It also invites participants to suggest potential measures to reduce the deficit.

The public input opportunities were developed and implemented at the request of the School Committee. The survey will remain online until Friday, April 1.
