Our decisions are guided by our commitment to ensuring equitable opportunities and experiences for all students, while providing the resources and support necessary to help them thrive now and in the future. Through a collective focus  and careful stewardship of resources, we strive to strengthen and enhance the tenets and systems that drive success in our classrooms, in our schools, and in our community. By maintaining an equity lens on the budget process, we ensure that our investments reflect our district's Goals and Beliefs, and meet the diverse needs of our students, families and staff.
