The Coupeville School Board will hold a community forum next week to discuss the district’s financial state and the process for building a budget for the 2024-2025 school year.
It will be held in the Coupeville High School/Middle School Performing Arts Center Wednesday, Mar. 13, with things kicking off at 5:30 PM.
In anticipation of the event, school board president Morgan White issued the following statement Friday:
Dear Coupeville Community,
Thank you for being so amazing and supportive!
Despite the adversity that we have faced over the last few years, this community always steps up for our students and our staff.
The financial position of our district is challenging.
We have experienced a significant decrease in projected revenues this year and it is important that we build a sustainable plan for the upcoming school year.
The district is actively working to build a new budget and a Modified Education Plan.
A Modified Education Plan is a list of program cuts/reductions that will be assembled before April that is necessary to produce a balanced budget for the 2024/2025 school year.
We must work hard to prioritize our school district’s needs and wants, as we simultaneously reduce expenses.
The Coupeville School District Board of Directors is inviting you to a community forum to learn more about our financial state and about the process of developing the district budget.
Our desire is to provide an opportunity for input so that we can better understand the community’s concerns, questions and priorities.
As the district develops the budget and the Modified Education Plan, our belief is that student success and academic excellence will be much more likely if we maintain good communication and transparency.
We look forward to connecting with you. Thank you for caring about Coupeville kids!
Morgan White
CSD Board President
