Governing Board approves a $361.7 million M and O budget for 2008-2009

At its regular meeting on July 8, the Governing Board voted 4-1 to approve a $361.7 million Maintenance and Operations budget for the 2008-2009 school year. Board member Judy Burns voted against the proposed budget, citing "rash decisions" that were not good for children, such as dual-school principals. The District's total budget for the coming year, including all sources of income such as state and federal grants, gifts and donations, tax credits, etc., totals more than $578.2 million.
