Rockwood Holds 'Fiscal Responsibility' Strategic Plan Community Engagement Meeting
More than 30 members of the Rockwood community took part in our second five-year strategic plan community engagement meeting Nov. 12 at Eureka High.
The meeting, on the theme of "Fiscal Responsibility," included information and discussion about topics such as the district's budgeting process and how facilities projects are prioritized. Participants then shared their thoughts on fiscal responsibility in Rockwood.
Thank you to all who attended, and we hope to see you at our next two community engagement meetings in the coming months: the “Highly Qualified Staff” meeting will be held Jan. 14 at Lafayette High, and the “Safe and Caring Schools” meeting will follow Feb. 11 at Marquette High.
For more information about the five-year strategic plan process, please visit our Strategic Plan Steering Committee page.
