LCPS busca la opinión pública sobre las prioridades presupuestarias
La encuesta, disponible en inglés y español, está abierta hasta el 12 de enero de 2024
Las Escuelas Públicas de Las Cruces invita a los padres, estudiantes, personal y a la comunidad de Las Cruces a proporcionar comentarios sobre las prioridades presupuestarias a través de la encuesta anual de presupuesto, que está abierta desde ahora hasta el 12 de enero de 2024.
La encuesta se puso en marcha después de la reunión pública del miércoles por la noche en la que los participantes recibieron una visión general del proceso presupuestario y un cronograma de cuándo se presentará un presupuesto final para su aprobación por parte de la Mesa Directiva de Educación de LCPS.
Como parte de ese proceso, el Comité de Encuesta Presupuestaria, un grupo que incluye a administradores, maestros, padres y miembros de la comunidad, dirigió una sesión de recopilación de información. Al comité se le asignó la tarea de finalizar la encuesta, que obtiene información pública adicional sobre las prioridades de gasto en el distrito.
Se celebrarán reuniones públicas adicionales en el primer trimestre de 2024. De acuerdo con el Departamento de Finanzas de LCPS, las reuniones actualizarán al público sobre los resultados de la encuesta y proporcionarán detalles sobre cualquier ajuste al presupuesto antes de presentar un borrador a la Mesa Directiva de Educación para su aprobación. Esas reuniones están programadas para el 12 de marzo, el 8 de mayo y el 21 de mayo de 2024. Todas las reuniones se llevarán a cabo en la sala de juntas del Complejo Administrativo Dra. Karen M. Trujillo a las 5:30 p.m.
La encuesta comunitaria de presupuesto, disponible en inglés y español, se puede acceder aquí y está abierta hasta el 12 de enero de 2024: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/fin2025
