Once again, it’s time to discuss the district’s budget for the coming school year. Last year our District cut a total of $3 million with $1.5 million coming from budget reductions and the remainder from the District’s fund balance.

I realize that these discussions are always difficult and sometimes painful. We will face additional budget cuts for 2013. I am committed to keeping you informed throughout the process. To that end, we’ve posted information to the website that may answer some of your questions. If you would like to go directly to an overview of the budget process and a list of FAQs, please click here.

As we begin 2012, I would like you to know that I am proud to be a part of the Davenport Community Schools and work with a group of talented and dedicated individuals. I value your questions and feedback as we go through the budget process. If you have questions or comments, please email them to feedback@davenportschools.org

Dr. Art Tate, Superintendent
