Voice your opinions about your school's budget

City Schools is preparing for the 2024-25 school year and we want your input! What should your school invest in? What do you want to see more of in your school community?

Every school will host at least one Priority Engagement Session, where the community can share what they think is important with school leadership. To find the engagement session for your school, check this spreadsheet.
