资源充足的学校和社区参与

As a district, we value listening to and learning from our community. 我们设法确保所有的声音都能被听到, 尤其是那些在我们的社区中可能没有被充分代表的人.

从2023年夏季和秋季开始, 教育及卫生局发起了一项社区活动，与学生交谈, 家庭, 工作人员, 以及社区伙伴. 我们正在形成对资源的共同理解, 项目, 服务, 学习经验构成了一所资源丰富的学校.

Superintendent Brent Jones launched a community-wide effort to reimagine a System of Well-Resourced 学校 that is safe, 公平的, 并为学生和家庭提供这些项目, 服务 and resources they need to succeed and thrive in the neighborhoods where they live.

To provide district leadership and the School Board with authentic input, a series of community engagement efforts were conducted to help shape a vision grounded in the values and aspirations of the diverse community served by SPS.

The community vision will provide a foundation to frame challenges and opportunities for SPS in the coming years and help guide future strategic planning and resource allocation decisions, 包括资助资源充足的学校, SPS资金及未来规划, 更新西雅图卓越战略计划, 以及BEX VI税.

In March, school principals are developing their building’s budget for the next school year. Budgets guide us as we work to prioritize inclusive and high-quality education for our students.

什么是负责任预算的SPS计划?

虽然我们在2024-25学年不会关闭任何学校, we will be making some necessary changes to balance our budget in a fiscally responsible manner that ensures educational excellence across the district. 平衡2024-25学年的预算, this district intends to seek the implementation of loan tools the 华盛顿 State Legislature provided to specifically address budget de-stabilization, 同时重组一些项目.

为什么它会起作用??

Our plan to balance our budget provides significant long-term savings and opportunities for more savings in the future.

预算有什么问题吗?

SPS faces projected deficits of $105 million for fiscal year 2024-25, 2025-26财年1.29亿美元, 2026-27财年的预算为1.53亿美元. This structural shortfall is caused primarily by insufficient funding from the State of 华盛顿; declines in enrollment, 一次性资金来源的支出.

十大正规网赌软件情况怎么样?

Today, enrollment is approximately 48,000 students and there are 104 school buildings. 2019 - 23, 入学人数减少了4%,900名学生, 这导致了8100万美元的收入下降.

未来为什么要合并或关闭学校?

就像我们爱每一所学校一样, 当他们没有被录取时, they become under-resourced and this causes inequity and inconsistency from school to school.

难道没有比关闭学校更好的办法来弥补赤字吗? 他们还考虑了哪些其他选择啊?

关闭一所学校将节省75万到200万美元. While that is only part of budget savings, it will indeed make a difference.

为什么我们不能有更小的学校?

Current 华盛顿 state funding does not support smaller schools or smaller class sizes. State funds are based on the cost to run a 400-student elementary school, which means schools smaller than that are not financially feasible or sustainable.

这个过程将如何带来资源充足的学校?

We have launched a community-wide effort to reimagine a system of well-resourced schools which offers students and 家庭 the support, 项目和资源, and the inspiration they need to succeed and thrive in the neighborhoods where they live.

We will continue this community engagement to ensure that the decisions we make will be responsive, 公平的, 和声音, 当我们考虑进行任何实质性的合并时, 关闭, 以及程序性的变化. 阅读更多关于资源丰富的学校社区参与.
