FY20 BUDGET TOWN HALL
at 6 p.m. in the Forum to solicit community priorities as we develop the fiscal
year 2019-20 budget that will be presented to the Regional School Board and

opportunities for stakeholders to comment and ask questions of the
administration.
MLWGS values your input and has provided another option for those unable to

Comments will be shared with the Regional School Board, Superintendent’s
Steering Committee, and the school Administration as they work to create a
budget that reflects the cost of operation, programming, and staffing.
