Minutes: 

Shirley Brown stated that the Board had talked about in workshop having a public forum on the budget, so that the Board can discuss it.  We don't get a lot of constituents coming to the workshops or Board meetings, but obliviously some incorrect information is getting out.  Creditable business men from the community came to the Board concerned that we were spending our reserves down to zero this year.  There is misinformation out there.  She would like to work with staff and any other Board members to gather some type of forum.  The Board has talked about this in workshop and we need to move forward after we get the final budget numbers from Tallahassee.

Caroline Zucker stated the Board did agree to host a public forum.  The process now is just when would be the correct time to do this. 

Shirley Brown stated that perhaps at our next work session a date could be set.

Carol Todd stated that she does not disagree, but her question is the purpose.  If the purpose is input, I think the decision was made today to move the budget forward.  She is a little confused as to the purpose.  Is it an edification, information purpose, or is it a purpose to gain input to make changes in the Budget that she thought at the workshop today, the nod was given to the Superintendent to go ahead and release those Budgets.  She would like clarification please. 

Shirley Brown stated that she hoped it would be a two-way dialog.  If there are some things that the Board is hearing that could make a change that would not affect staffing
next year that may be able to change.  The Budget is not going to be set to ink until July and yes, we did some staffing recommendations today.  She does not know what they might bring forward and bring back to the Board that the Board might want to change.  At the very least it could be things the Board could be looking at next year.  At what point do you get this.  People are looking at the Budget more closely as you are passing it.  This might be a very good time to get some input.  Budgets are changed throughout the year.  As we go forward, we can do amendments to the Budget.  I would think that anytime someone has a good idea on where we might make some cuts to the budget that would make sense, and would not disrupt what we are doing with our students; that the Board would be willing to listen.
