In light of state’s severe cuts in public school
funding, the goal of the Managing Our Future
forums sponsored by the Board of Education
during December, 2009 was to share with key
stakeholders the magnitude of the budgetary
challenges facing the school district, the cost
of the district’s programs, and to gather
feedback on what the district’s stakeholders
value most about the education of Northville’s
children.
“This valuable feedback from the district’s
stakeholders provides the Board of Education
with a sense of what our school families, staff,
students and community members value as we
strive to make some very difficult decisions
about the district’s programs and services for
the remainder of this school year, as well as
2010-11,” said Northville Board of Education
President Dr. Marilyn Price. “Given the deep and
enduring financial shortfalls projected by the
State of Michigan, it will take reductions in a
number of areas to achieve the necessary costs
savings for this school year, 2010-11, and
beyond.”
