Harford County Public Schools has begun the budget development process for the FY17 operating budget and has a plan to engage all stakeholders in what its says is a meaningful discussion regarding the budget and the needs for the school system throughout each stage of the process.
The goal is to ensure that the entire community has an opportunity to become involved in the process and partner with HCPS in the development of our FY17 operating budget, according to a news release.
The first step in the process is the development of the superintendent’s recommended operating budget, which will be presented to the Board of Education in December.
Community input sessions are scheduled during the month of October, and HCPS officials encourage all to attend to offer their input regarding the budget. The superintendent wants to hear from you. The schedule is as follows:
* Tuesday, Oct. 6, 5 p.m. – North Harford High School Media Center;
* Wednesday, Oct. 7, 10 a.m. – live stream only at www.hcps.org;
* Thursday, Oct. 8, 5 p.m. – C. Milton Wright High School Media Center;
* Thursday, Oct. 15, 5 p.m. – Aberdeen High School Media Center.
Employees and members of the community are always welcome to email ideas and suggestions to [email protected] at any time throughout the process.
