The newly formed Joint Finance Committee, comprised of two County Supervisors, two School Board members and two citizen representatives chosen by each board met earlier this year to develop timelines and processes meant to streamline the overall School Board budget process and provide transparency to Northumberland County residents. Committee members agreed that answering questions prior to Public Hearings and the budget vote would be helpful. After the School Board submitted their 2024-2025 budget, The Board of Supervisors created a detailed list of questions and as planned, submitted them to the School Board. The initial Board of Supervisor questions, school leadership answers, and second round of Board of Supervisor questions can be found here. The school leadership provided answers to the Board of Supervisors on the second round at the April 10, special called joint meeting and as soon as those are posted publicly, we will include a link.
