To the Editor:
Fiscal year 2022 budget season is upon us. As finance committee chair, I encourage you to vote early or in-person on March 2.
Our priority is the safe return to full-time in-person learning. The Champlain Valley School District’s fiscal year 2022 budget was developed with a goal to return to the familiar 5-day per week instruction this August.
Each year, the CVSD board works to develop a fiscally sound and community-minded budget. This year’s proposed budget, Article VII, represents a 3.5 percent increase from last year.
Article VIII requests voter approval to use a portion of the district’s fund balance to ease the voter’s tax burden. Understandably, for many of us, this has been a challenging year. If approved, these funds help lower the percentage increase to 1 percent.
For detailed budget & article information, including the CVSD Annual Report, visit: cvsdvt.org/budget, or please reach out to me if I can help answer your budget questions: Kbowen@cvsdvt.org.
Join us at the budget information meeting on Monday, March 1 at 5 p.m. via Zoom: http://bit.ly/CVSDInformationMeeting2021
On behalf of the school board, we appreciate your generous support through this unprecedented year.
Kelly A. Bowen
Chair, Finance Committee, CVSD School Board
