Mrs. Bloomfield reported on the Budget Committee Meeting she attended.  She reported that some members of the Budget Committee were dissatisfied with the way we provide information to them.  Mr. Rowe asked if they were dissatisfied with the format or quality.  Mrs. Bloomfield noted the format.

 

Mr. Rowe noted that perhaps it would be beneficial to invite Budget Committee members to meet with the Board, Brian Blake, Superintendent, and Michelle Clark, Business Administrator, to go through the format the School Board uses to help them to better understand the District’s format.  Mr. Rowe asked if it would be helpful to do a tutorial for the whole Budget Committee.  Mr. Rowe suggested that we offer the Budget Committee whatever assistance they need to understand the financial reports used by the School Board and the New Hampshire Department of Education.  It was the consensus of the Board to invite Budget Committee members to a seminar to explain the School District Budget format.
