Visit District Dollars for Budget Update and to Share Your Education Priorities

District Dollars is a web-based, interactive program to help you understand the DJUSD budget situation. It provides recently updated information on:

• How California pays for schools
• How much money the district gets and how it is spent
• The different options for balancing the budget

District Dollars lets you ask questions, provide feedback and share your own values about education priorities. “What Do You Value?” remains open for your input through June 1. The Board of Education will adopt a final 2010-11 budget by July 1.

District Dollars is available as a Quick Link on the DJUSD website at www.djusd.net or at www.DistrictDollars.org.
