Cindy Payton and I are working on producing a proposed education and operating budget for the 2023-2024 school year.  We will present our proposal to the superintendents on April 26th during a regularly scheduled meeting at C9 and then present for a first reading to the C9 school board in May.

I am compiling a survey for C9 staff to complete related to leadership at C9 this May.  You will see the draft before it is published.  This will be used as a tool in the executive director's evaluation in June.
