ENG 2024-25 Family Update No. 22
April 4, 2025
Dear Northfield Public Schools Families:
Thanks to the 177 people who attended the April 3 priority based budget reduction meeting. I am grateful for the community’s engagement, the thoughtful and productive comments, and the support for the district’s programs. I am proud of the way our district stakeholders come together to discuss these complex issues.
A few items related to the priority-based budget reductions:
The district updated the priority based budget reduction recommendations document. This includes updates to the secondary education budget package, an alternative recommendation for restructuring the health services department, and information about changes to the draft middle school six period schedule.
The board will deliberate the budget reductions at its regular meeting on April 14, a work session on April 22, and then make its final decision at its April 28 regular meeting. Board packets, table files, and meeting videos are located on our website.
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me directly with feedback or questions about the school district.
Sincerely,
Matt
