Note: I received this email from Alison Donta, Chair of the Citizens' Budget Advisory Committee, on Monday, and she has graciously given me permission to post it. The documents are now all available on the ARPS website, so I encourage anyone with an interest in understanding our budget better to review those documents carefully. Thanks so much to Alison and all members of this group for their VERY good work on behalf of our schools
Dear School Committee...
In fulfillment with our charge, the Citizens' Budget Advisory Committee has submitted for posting complete (or as complete as possible at this time according to the ARPS staff) answers to our three rounds of questions on our web site at: http://www.arps.org/budget#cbac We expect this to be available on-line by noon today. I have also attached here the documents themselves, for your records.
The Citizens' Budget Advisory Committee will be meeting again to discuss whether we have now met all aspects of our charge or whether there is still remaining work to be done. We anticipate meeting within a week and will email our liaision, Irv Rhodes, with this information and an invitation for any/all School Committee members to attend this meeting and weigh in on this topic.
We hope you are pleased with the results of our work to date and find the on-line availability of questions and answers useful to you and to the public and that this information can assist you as you move forward with the budget process.
Respectfully submitted,
Alison Donta-Venman, Chair, Citizens' Budget Advisory Committee

Hi Catherine. I just posted something for the CBAC under the wrong blog entry-- can you please make sure it ends up here if it is not too much trouble. Thank you.
These reports are extremely useful and there is a lot of information. Thank you CBAC. This was a lot of work. And for the answers that were provided from the district I commend their cooperation (a chunk of which occurred under Dr. R?).
Many thanks to the CBAC. We really appreciate it!
