The Juneau School District holds its first public forum on next year’s budget tonight.

Superintendent Mark Miller and Administrative Services Director David Means will go over the budget calendar, present an overall “big picture” budget and compare past and present reductions and increases.

The school district expects next year’s deficit to be $2.5 million. The public will get to weigh in with ideas on how to balance the budget.

The meeting is tonight from 6 to 8 at the Thunder Mountain High School library. The next public forum on the school budget isn’t until February. Written comment can be sent to budgetinput@juneauschools.org.
