The current financial crisis affecting the economy will also impact Everett Public Schools. The District Finance Office has projected a budget shortfall for the 2009-2010 school year of up to $9.7 million. On March 24, 2009, at its regularly scheduled Board Meeting, the Board of Directors directed the Superintendent to begin preparations for an educational reduction in program to meet the anticipated shortfall. Setting school district budgets is universally more difficult than ever because of the financial challenges of the state and nation. To meet the district’s mission to educate each student, to protect the district’s financial stability and its capacity to meet our community’s expectations, we will: · Continue our focus on each student’s academic success · Maintain class size goals · Keep schools as safe places to learn and grow, and · Adhere to state and federal laws and negotiated agreements All budget considerations, no matter their difficulty, are being reviewed in light of the long-term financial capacity of Everett Public Schools to support its mission and meet community expectations.
