Weekly Bulletin # 091024
 
Gary S. Mala
Superintendent of Schools

Week of March 22, 2010 
 
 
The Board of Education and Central Administration of the district continue to review the 2010 -2011 Superintendent's Proposed Budget.  Please consider attending any of the following sessions to listen to their discussion.
  
Monday, March 29, 2010 - Budget Commitee (If Needed)
6:30 p.m. Central Office, Board Room
 
Monday, April 5, 2010 - Budget Commitee (If Needed)
6:30 p.m. Central Office, Board Room
 
Monday, April 19, 2010 - Annual Hearing and Special Meeting of the Board of Education
7:00 p.m. Haddam-Killingworth Middle School
 
Monday, May 3, 2010 - Annual Meeting
7:00 p.m. Haddam-Killingworth High School Auditorium
 
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 - Referendum in Both Towns
 

The public is more than welcome to attend any of the budget workshops and any of the Budget Committee meetings.  Certainly our Budget Committee is eager to communicate effectively with the town officials in both Haddam and Killingworth.  As a Budget Committee responsible for articulating the educational needs of the school district in a fiscally responsible manner, we have the difficult task of striking a balance between our educational needs and our fiscal responsibilities.  Our committee will be monitoring activity and actions at the legislative level most carefully, and wherever possible will be providing input in order to protect both the educational and financial interests of the district and our towns.

 
 
 

Attention Senior Parents
