The Burnaby school district is looking for input from the public on spending priorities for the 2014/15 budget.
The annual meeting is the public's only chance to weigh in on budgeting for the local district.
"We welcome community input, that's the idea, we need our partner groups, and this is the one opportunity we have for consultation," said school board chair Baljinder Narang.
The meeting is set for Wednesday, April 9 at 7 p.m. in the district's office, at 5325 Kincaid St.
Greg Frank, the district's secretary-treasurer, will present a snapshot of budget projections and go over any financial "challenges" and the anticipated funding shortfall. It's too early to say what cuts, if any, the board will have to make to stay in the black.
"At this point the board is still collecting input. In terms of budget adjustments, those decisions will be made at our public meeting on April 22," Frank said.
Anyone wishing to present at the April 9 public input meeting must register by calling 604-296-6900 (ext. 661004) or emailing [email protected].
