COMMUNITY

District Fiscal Situation
It is expected that the governor will release his proposed 2010-2011 budget at the end of this week, and within the next week or two our district will begin to learn what it might mean for us. The proposed budget will continue to be changed at the state level until it is adopted by the legislature and signed by the governor, which may be as late as next fall - long after our 2010- 11 school year has begun.

Scotts Valley Educational Foundation (SVEF)
Do you know that attending a SVEF meeting means attending with a representative from each of our four schools, plus parents, teachers, school administrators, board members and community members? This is a wonderful way to get a district view of our Scotts Valley school system. SVEF sponsors many great events each year and are truly making a difference for our schools. This amazing organization helps fund our libraries, art and music programs, technology, classroom spending and whatever is needed at all four Scotts Valley schools.

Attending a meeting is extremely informative and is in no way a commitment to participate. Please join us by attending just to listen, ask questions or to participate. Everyone is welcome! Meetings are upstairs at Bruno's BBQ on the 4th Thursday of the month at 7:00pm.
