How would you spend more than $1,000,000,000 to ensure that our children have access to high-quality schools and highly effective educators?
…Academic interventions, social emotional supports, restorative practices, technology, transportation, food services, materials and textbooks, technology, career and technical education opportunities, extended day programming, teacher retention strategies – or something else?
Supporting the education of 35,528 children at 56 traditional elementary and secondary schools and programs, 14 charter schools, and 1,384 inter-district choice placements, the Rochester City School District operates with a budget of more than $1,000,000,000.
Over the next several weeks, the members of the Rochester Board of Education will educate our community and ask for input on adopting a budget for the coming school year that responds to the needs of students, families, educators, and industry.
Tune in for the Community Budget Webinar on March 2 at 6:00 p.m., make your voice heard at upcoming budget hearings, and reach out to board members directly.
The opportunities far outweigh the challenges in addressing education in Rochester. Together we can prioritize and respond to the educational needs of our community.
