Throughout January and into February, Superintendent Amii Thompson and CFO Kim Knight conducted a series of Focus Groups for staff, community members and students. The purpose of the Focus Groups was to share budget-related information and hear perspectives from key stakeholder groups.

Each group was asked the same three questions:

1. What do you value most about BISD?
2. Are there ideas that you have for reductions?
3. Are there ideas that you have for revenues?

Feedback received from the meetings and a similar anonymous form were synthesized into this report and will be used for budget planning.
