North Platte Public schools... TOO LATE. Budget Hearing was already held August 9th. But you can still comment about it at the Tuesday September 13th board meeting at 7:30 pm in the McKinley Administration building . During the public comment period.
The school board has made attempts to silence the public by moving the public comment period to the end of the meeting after decisions by the board have already been made. It still is a good time to address to board and voice your disproval on the lack of respect shown the taxpayers with the timing of the public comment.. The board plans to accept the budget that night. If you want to get a good summary of the School Budget you might want to get a hold of last week’s Bulletin. In it George Lauby did a good piece of journalism about the teacher’s contract and the 2012 budget
