JAMESTOWN – Jamestown Public Schools’ Superintendent Tim O. Mains will hold a Community Presentation on School Finances Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Jefferson Middle School auditorium. The purpose of the presentation is to inform the community how school districts are funded and how that directly affects the Jamestown Public Schools in the 2015-16 school year.
Topics that Superintendent Mains will address include:
- How inadequate school financing has negatively impacted Jamestown Schools,
- How low state funding directly affects Jamestown children’s educational needs,
- What the district has done until this point to survive, and
- What the forecast is for the 2015-16 School Budget
“I encourage the community to come to this presentation to help them better understand the budget parameters under which a school district like Jamestown must work due to inadequate state funding,” said Superintendent Mains. “We will also give the community resources and ways to help the district during this funding dilemma.”
