The public is encouraged to participate in upcoming town halls to provide input as to how the Tucson Unified School District Governing Board should make budget decisions to overcome a projected $17 million deficit while continuing to improve student achievement. The public meetings will be held August 20, 22, and 25.

The Governing Board is seeking community input as it develops a School Master Plan to address five critical areas: Academic Achievement, Equity and Diversity, Services and Programs, Facilities, and Finances. The district faces substantial budget challenges due to demographic shifts in the community, declining enrollment, reduced state funding, and escalating expenses for utilities and maintenance.

Community members will have the opportunity to learn more about the economic realities facing the district as well the chance to provide their ideas to help shape the future of the district and support the priority of academic excellence.

Please share your ideas at the following town halls held on August 20, August 22, and August 25:
