Welcome!

The Broward County Public Schools District has established a Community Budget Task Force Committee whose goal is to study the District’s budget to find ways to reduce the spending plan for the 2011/2012 school year, while having a minimal impact on the classroom.

The Committee is comprised of volunteer business and community members and parents, who will make recommendations on how the District can increase revenue generating streams and prioritize cost saving measures.

The District’s goal is to better inform the community about major initiatives and invite members of the community to provide recommendations.

 Purpose of the District Initiating the Task Force:

• Share the 2011/2012 budget issues facing the District.

• Seek input from the community as the District moves forward through the budget process.

• Request the Task Force Members disseminate information utilizing their existing and potentially expanded communication vehicles.

• Maintain an enhanced communication vehicle between District administrators, School Board members, and the community at large.

The Community Budget Task Force Committee’s Main Areas of Focus:

• Identify ways to generate revenue streams for the District.

• Recommend ways to decrease expenses in the District.

• Communicate and educate the community on the budget process and funding sources of the District.
