Meeting in a Box

In order to help share the facts about the proposed KCS budget, we have prepared a set of documents that should help anyone facilitate a meeting among the community about the budget. Included are:

• Presentation slides about the proposed budget
• A list of key investments the district will make with the proposed budget increase
• Detailed assumptions of operational and capital budget expenditures for FY 2013
• A chart showing how Knox County Schools would spend the proposed $35M structural increase over the next 5 years
• A list of Knox County Commissioners and their contact information
• Sample wording to help you express your support to the Commissioners
• *By request, we can also provide you with post-cards & postage for you to pass out at meetings for community members to send to commissioners expressing their support of the budget
