  1. Chris, Would it be possible for the administration to publish more info prior to the board meeting about why there appears to be a proposed increase of over $17 million in ICCSD's adopted 2016 budget for what I'm assuming is mostly or all "facilities acquisition and construction" and/or "debt service"?

    Is the district just spending down most of its ending fund balance and if so, on what (that it hadn't budgeted to spend before)?

    The info stated more detail would be provided about receipts ($ coming in?) and expenditures at the hearing but it would be nice to see such info posted in advance of the hearing. Many thanks.

The simplest way to comment is to choose "Name/URL" in the drop-down box, then just type in whatever screen name you'd like to use. You can leave the URL field blank. I'd prefer that people use screen names rather than the "Anonymous" option, because it can get too hard to tell the various anonymous commenters apart in any given thread.

If you don't see your comment appear right away, send it again. It might have gotten caught in the spam filter. If I see the same comment come in twice, I'll know to check the filter.
