Hello Everyone, 

Monday May 11 at 6:00 pm there is a public hearing to discuss and provide voters information on Article I. 

Article I reads: Shall the voters of the school district approve the school board to expend $15, 062,658 which is the amount the school board has determined to be necessary for the ensuing fiscal year. The West River Education District estimates that this proposed budget, if approved, will result in per pupil education spending of $16, 162, which is (.83%) higher than per pupil education spending for the current year. 

On Wednesday, May 13 a revote of the FY27 Budget will be by Australian Ballot. The polling locations open at different time and close at 7:00 pm. 

Saturday, May 16th the Prom will be at the Newfane Union Hall. Immediately after Thrives has organized a post prom party.
