Letter: Learn about Bonduel budget at coffee chats

To the editor: The Bonduel School District will be holding “coffee chats” at locations around the district. Topics of discussion will include the proposed increase in the local tax levy, annual budget, state funding, updates for the upcoming school year and highlights of the 2013-14 year. Property owners, parents and concerned citizens, I urge you to stop in at one of the three chats to find out what is happening in our school district. At the chat you will be able to ask questions. Patrick Rau, our new Bonduel School District superintendent, will be hosting these chats at 8 a.m. Aug. 12 at The Hungry Bear, 6 p.m. Aug. 13 at Navarino Fire Department and at 11 a.m. Aug. 14 at the Cecil Diner. These meetings are being held prior to the annual district meeting at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 18 in the high school commons area. If you are concerned about what is happening within our district, or even at the state level, you need to come to the chat and voice those concerns. If you can’t make one of these chats, please make it a priority to attend the annual meeting on the 18th. Public input is a valuable asset in the budget process and for the direction that our district will go in the future. These chats are very important for our district to succeed. Please consider attending the chat and the annual meeting. With your help, we can continue to make Bonduel School District the great place for education that it currently is.
