Prior to beginning their budget process, the members of the Board of Education are hoping to hear from the public.<\/p>\n
There will be two public forums this week to give people a look into the budget process for the 2018-19 school year. The first will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Thunder Mountain High School library, and the second will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Juneau-Douglas High School budget.<\/p>\n
The meetings will provide a bit more information about how the budget process works. The Board of Education uses what is called a zero-based budget building system, which prioritizes spending so that items with higher priorities are funded first as revenue is available.<\/p>\n
