It is Budget Time for the Beacon City School District, which means that the Board of Education is dedicating the time to imagine and discuss what needs fixing, developing, enhancing in the district. As a tax-paying member of the public (renters and owners alike!) you are encouraged to submit your two-cents.

A Little Beacon Blog will be pushing for Bussing For All, which is the idea that all kids of all ages can be able to take a bus to school. Currently, kids who live within a radius cannot take the bus, and need to walk. For generations, this has been fine. But students are beginning to speak out for themselves, and on behalf of friends, that this option is not OK anymore. Read more about it in ALBB’s former column here.

You can submit your thoughts on the budget now, until April 8th! Don’t miss this deadline. The Board of Education does evaluate each entry, and takes feedback to heart. You can watch them discuss feedback during their Board of Education meetings. Should you have further thoughts, you could speak them during Public Comment of a Board of Education Meeting, to make sure your voice is heard.
