[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Well first of all I assume the questions were meant to get at what SWS would use its fundraised budget for[/b], not the dcps budget.  They put a lot of fundraising dollars toward special needs supports.

I agree with you, though, that it is notable that the only item on this list that is at all academic is early literacy.

Budgets reflect values and this list reflects SWS’s.  [/quote]

Hmmmm …. didn’t sound like that. Here’s the email:

The SWS LSAT is preparing to advise Principal Burst about budget priorities for the 2023-2024 School Year.  The allocation for the next school year has just been released under the new DCPS funding model focused on bringing budgeting equity across schools to ensure that students with the greatest needs receive the most funding. SWS, along with many other schools, will have a 5% budget shortfall for next year.  In addition, there are cost increases across many positions.

As we prepare to address this shortfall in building next year's budget, Principal Burst and the LSAT hope to hear what you as the at home caregivers feel is important by having you complete the FY24 SWS Staff Budget Priorities Survey.  Our school priorities for next year remain, in no specific order:

*Early Literacy Instruction
*Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, & Anti-racism
*Reggio-Inspired Learning
*Supports and Interventions for Academic and Social Emotional Student Needs

Please complete the survey by *5pm on Monday, February 20* to share your priorities for the upcoming school year. As the school budget process moves forward, cuts will need to be made and we want to hear what you feel should be a priority.[/i][/quote]
