Those interested in helping Northshore schools to continue to offer high-quality instructional programs are encouraged to provide input via a short online survey. The survey will be posted on the district’s Web site, www.nsd.org, through Feb. 4.

“With an anticipated state-budget deficit of $7 billion, we expect a reduction in state funding next year,” said Superintendent Larry Francois. “We have the opportunity to plan for those reductions now by identifying what is important to us — the priorities that are central to the educational mission of Northshore public schools.”

Results of the survey will be studied by the School Board and will be used to guide decisions over the next three years.
