Joint Committee Meetings

Joint Committee Meetings
We are excited to announce that we will continue to hold five joint committee meetings for the 2024-25 year.  The purpose of these Joint Committee Meetings is to bring together district-wide committee members to hear from our Superintendent and other district leaders on topics relevant to all advisory committees, with a specific focus this year on strategic planning, District data and budget information. Our goal is to continue to support the conditions for shared messaging and collective capacity to inform our district planning and budgeting process. Community engagement is a valued part of our work and believe your participation and contributions are critical to our collective effort to ensure the success of all of our BUSD students.
