The time for sustainable, adequate funding from the state and borough is upon us. As we begin this year\u2019s process, we are asking all of our stakeholders to be engaged to help prioritize programs and services offered in our district. We have had to make many difficult decisions in the last few years, as our funding has not kept up with costs, such as healthcare. We hope this process will help inform our state and borough leaders of the needs our students and communities have to continue to provide an excellent education. I look forward to beginning this discussion and supporting all stakeholders to participate in the district, borough and state budgeting process.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>WHO<\/strong><br \/>\n*Site-Councils, together with everyone who is interested\u2014parents, staff, students, business partners, community members, and elected officials\u2014are invited to participate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tuesday, October 30, 2018, 6:00 PM, at 22 KPBSD schools:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Aurora Borealis Charter School<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 KCHS Library;\u00a0<strong>Chapman School<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Homer Middle School;\u00a0<strong>Connections Homeschool<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Soldotna High Library;\u00a0<strong>Cooper Landing School<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Cooper Landing Library;\u00a0<strong>Fireweed\u00a0 Acacemy<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Homer Middle School;\u00a0<strong>Homer Flex<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Homer Middle School;\u00a0<strong>Homer High<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Homer Middle School;\u00a0<strong>Homer Middle<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Homer Middle School;\u00a0<strong>Hope School<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Hope School Mrs. T\u2019s room;\u00a0<strong>K-Beach Elementary<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 K-Beach School;\u00a0<strong>Kachemak-Selo<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Voznesenka School;\u00a0<strong>Kaleidoscope School of Arts &amp; Science<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Kaleidoscope Library;\u00a0<strong>Kenai Alternative<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 KCHS Library;\u00a0<strong>Kenai Central High School<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 KCHS Library;\u00a0<strong>Kenai Middle School<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 KCHS Library;\u00a0<strong>McNeil Canyon Elementary<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Homer Middle School;\u00a0<strong>Moose Pass School<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Moose Pass Library;\u00a0<strong>Mt.
