“FOCUS ON OUR FUTURE” FORUMS
The Novi Community Schools seek your input during our State’s
financial crisis. This year our revenue was reduced, in the middle
of the year, by $2.8 million because of cut backs in
the State budget. The financial crisis is affecting the Novi
Community School District. In the years ahead, we are facing
additional significant funding cuts from the State. Novi Community
Schools’ families, staff, and community members can get a clear
picture of the school district’s budget, the cost of various
programs and services, and offer their input during a series of five
separate “FOCUS ON OUR FUTURE” forums, sponsored by the Novi
Board of Education and the Novi Administration in February.
The Forums are scheduled at the following times and locations:
