District Budget

ABOUT

As the midpoint of the school year approached, Webster CSD began preparing all aspects of the proposed 2023-24 district budget that will be up for a community-wide vote on Tuesday, May 16. The district conducted a ThoughtExchange that welcomed feedback from all stakeholders when planning a budget for a school district that serves 8,100 students and 1,600+ staff members. The feedback presented in this report will help us develop a budget that reflects the Webster CSD community's thoughts and input for our students. We appreciate everyone’s input.

The ThoughtExchange asked, "What are the most important things to consider as we begin to plan for our upcoming budget?" The exchange opened January 5 and closed January 31. The Summary Report contains our community's feedback regarding this question.
