At PVUSD, we strive to make our website accessible to all in our community. If you need ADA compliant versions of the documents linked here, please email webmaster@pvusd.net.
Purpose of the Team: Make collective recommendations to the Board of Education on how we use our resources to best serve students and maintain fiscal solvency in the face of declining enrollment over the next decade. 

Sustainable Budget Team co-created Problem Statement: PVUSD is facing a significant challenge due to declining enrollment and the loss of one-time pandemic funding. To address this issue, we must re-prioritize and reimagine our services to scale effectively and maximize available resources. Our goal is to maintain high-quality educational offerings while ensuring equitable access for all students. To achieve this, we must implement solutions with transparency, ultimately positioning our district for success in a sustainable manner. 

Sustainable Budget Team Recommendations: Present recommendations to the Board of Education at the January 15, 2025 meeting for consideration. 

All decision making authority for approval of the PVUSD 2025-26 budget rests with the Board of Education.
