LWVS Board Statement re 2026-27 School Budget Planning

The LWVS Board Statement re 2026-27 School Budget Planning was delivered at the Community Forum on Budget Priorities on Monday, November 17, 2025.

Call for Volunteers for LWVS School Bond Study Committee

In anticipation of the next school bond referendum, LWVS is convening a study committee to monitor the public past and future School District Administration and the Board of Education discussions concerning the bond and to evaluate, without bias, the pros and cons of the proposals. Recordings of all relevant public meetings and other bond-related materials are located on the District website. All League members are eligible to join. Please email Dalya Khan, School Budget Portfolio Chair, with questions or to participate in the committee.
