The Deer Valley Unified School District governing board is seeking community input for how the district should allocate resources for the 2024-25 school year in order to remain competitive and provide the best learning possibilities for students.

A budget committee has been formed and is seeking community input to develop a list of budget priorities. Once the committee compiles and categorizes these priorities, a subsequent survey will be sent to the community in January.

For the 2024-25 school year, the committee will be looking at balancing the budget with the Federal Stimulus funds concluding as well as the possibility of not having voter-supported initiatives for future years.

• Ensure and maintain safety at campuses
• Provide academic supports for all students, including full-day Kindergarten

• Provide additional social/emotional supports for students
• Supports for large student settings (e.g., adding staff for approaching class loads)
• Capital Improvements

The initial survey is available through Jan. 3 at this link.
