Be informed so you can advocate for the 2018-2019 school district budget which will define opportunities and offerings in August, 2018. The FY19 budget will be presented to the School Board on April 2, 2018, for approval, and then to the Borough Assembly on April 3, 2018, at which time the Assembly has thirty days to respond to the funding request. KPBSD is requesting maximum funding from the Borough to offset the projected deficit.

"Our annual budget is one of the most important things we do each year," said Dave Jones, assistant superintendent of instructional support. "We want to give our parents, staff, students, and community members a chance to learn about our budget, participate in the process, and ask questions."

If the future success for our KPBSD K-12 students is dependent on a quality education so graduates will be prepared for college or a career, funding public education is crucial. KPBSD asks everyone to attend a public budget meeting, and become involved in the financial solutions for our school district and state.
