Overview

With rising costs and limited financial resources, the economic climate continues to present serious challenges for the Boston Public Schools in the development of the school district's budget for the 2010-2011 school year (fiscal year 2011). On Wednesday, February 3, Superintendent Carol R. Johnson presented the preliminary FY2011 budget to the Boston School Committee.

This page contains background information on the budget development process and a schedule of meetings at which members of the public can provide feedback on the proposed budget. Please check back frequently for updates.
