The Ad Hoc Budget Committee has been meeting weekly to process information we have received and move towards recommendations. Each week we review ideas submitted through our committee’s web form and suggestions made during office hours. We are also reviewing the slides submitted by each program area and center. The School of Education Leadership Team has provided a wealth of information. We have also learned how the school is organized. We have also learned about the campus and School of Education budget. In particular, the committee has a good understanding of the school’s current budget deficit and some of the drivers of future deficits.
As we move into the upcoming month, we will continue to identify areas that might benefit from reorganization to enhance efficiency, equity, and quality. Please continue to submit ideas via the response form and come to our office hours. There is still time to share your ideas with the team. We value and need your input and we are already including your ideas in our discussions. Â
Remaining office hours are listed below. You can join us in-person (MBE 144A, the Teacher Education conference room) or online ().ÌýÌý
