Public invited to give input on GECDSB's budget

The Greater Essex County District School Board is preparing its budget for the next school year, and an important part of that process is consulting with the public.

Residents are invited to share their thoughts on how the board should spend its budget at the Finance and Facility Services Meetings on Tuesday, April 14, and Tuesday, May 12. Both meetings at the board's offices at 451 Park Street West will start at 5 p.m.

Those who wish to speak to members of the committee need to complete a Delegation Request Form and submit it no later than the Friday before the meeting.

The school board provides public education to 36,000 elementary and secondary school students across Windsor-Essex.
