Dear Chittenden and Mendon Friends and Neighbors,

We hope that this letter finds you well. As members of our community, your input and feedback are essential to our success as a school district. 

As you may be aware, the 2024-2025 (FY25) Barstow Unified Union School District budget proposals have unfortunately failed to gain approval in the past two attempts. We believe the proposed budgets were fiscally responsible, met the needs of the district, and maintained the high quality of PreK-8 education that has been traditionally expected by the Barstow community. While this is undoubtedly a setback, we remain committed to ensuring the best possible education for all of our PK-12 students and will continue to work until we get a voter-approved budget.

We are reaching out to request your thoughts and insights regarding the FY25 budget. Your input plays a vital role in ensuring the budget aligns with the values and expectations of you, our community members. We want to understand what aspects of the budget resonate with you, and where you believe improvements can be made. Your feedback will be carefully reviewed and considered as we work towards crafting a revised budget proposal that reflects the priorities of our community. 

Please take a moment to share your thoughts with us by completing the following four-question, anonymous survey. Click here to access the survey. You can also Reach Out! to us to provide additional feedback (click here to Reach Out!). 

Thank you for your ongoing support and engagement with our district’s endeavors. Together, we can create a budget that serves the best interests of our students and community as a whole.

Sincerely,

Deborah Singiser, BUU Board Chair

Kristin Hubert, RNESU Superintendent
