TASK FORCE GENERAL INFORMATION
The School District of New Berlin’s Board of Education has selected 16 citizens to serve on a Budget Balancing Task Force this summer.
The task force is comprised of a cross-section of applicants representing the many varying stakeholder interests throughout the community. It is charged with learning about school finance, receiving information about the SDNB’s budget and current / future financial status and, ultimately, presenting budget recommendations to the School Board this fall.
Task force members must attend at least four of the five following scheduled meetings: July 11, Aug. 13, Aug. 20. Sept. 10 and Sept. 16. (Note: A sixth meeting was added for Oct. 9) Meetings start at 6 p.m. and are expected to last approximately 2 ½ hours and are held at New Berlin West in the Idea Center (library), 18695 W. Cleveland Ave.
Although the task force was tentatively scheduled to present its recommendations at a Board of Education meeting Sept. 23, but has postponed this presentation to Monday, Oct. 28.
School Board members, president Amy Crosby and vice-president Susan Manley, are task force liaisons. District administrators and staff may be in attendance at task force meetings to present information or observe. Roger Price of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards is the meeting facilitator. The community is invited to attend and observe all of the task force sessions.
Please direct all questions to Diana Hanson, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent and School Board at (262) 789-6221 or diana.hanson@nbexcellence.org.
