Announcements

Joint Committee Meetings
We are excited to announce that we have planned five joint committee meetings for the 2023-24 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 resource allocation and 2024-27 LCAP development/strategic planning. Our goal is to create the conditions to support 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.
