Each year the Jackson Board of Education holds public meetings during the creation of the annual district budget. These "Building a Budget'' sessions feature presentations on requested expenditures from various district departments (e.g. Curriculum, Facilities, Transportation, Special Education).

The board is committed to providing multiple opportunities for the public to input and ask questions during the budget process, which typically begins in February. We encourage you to view the current budget and to visit this page often to view presentations and information, and our schedule of upcoming public hearings.
