2021-2022 Mohonasen Budget

Budget hearing and meeting the candidates

The Mohonasen Board of Education will host a budget hearing at 6 p.m., Monday, May 10, in the high school LGI. Attendees will have an opportunity to “meet” the board candidates following the hearing.

The Meet the Candidates portion will involve candidates reading prepared opening and closing statements and responding to questions from Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Laurel Logan-King, who will moderate the event. The public may view the the event but will not be able to ask their own questions to the candidates.

However, the public may submit questions related to the budget hearing by emailing them to kbarry@mohonasen.org no later than 5 p.m. Monday, May 10.

Seating is limited in the LGI and social distancing will be practiced. Therefore, those wishing to attend are asked to RSVP to Kate Barry at kbarry@mohonasen.org to reserve a seat. The hearing, as well as the Meet the Candidates portion of the evening, will be livestreamed from the LGI and recorded for future viewing.
