February 2024: Budget Consultation Process
Each year at this time, the Delta School District is required to start developing a balanced budget for the upcoming school year. We encourage all families, staff, partners and rights-holders to participate in this process.
For the previous two years, we have invited participation by way of a public input session via Zoom. This year, in an effort to increase engagement, we are trying a different approach. You will able to provide feedback via a short online survey, or through more traditional methods such as email, mail or through your school’s PAC.
You will have two opportunities to provide feedback:
- Share your general priorities before March 18.
- Share feedback on the draft budget recommendations between April 18-23.
Please review this brief handout (or click on the image below) for more information on this year’s process, including a survey link to enable you to share your general priorities by March 18.
Community feedback is so valuable. We would love to hear from everyone. Thank you in advance for taking the time to review this information and share your thoughts with us.

Chair, Delta Board of Education
