The Farmingdale School District Board of Education and administration are in the process of preparing the 2009/10 school year budget proposal. The district is committed to three primary goals in developing the budget: hold down costs, maintain our commitment to quality education and continue to prepare students to successfully meet state standards.

Community input is a crucial component of the budget development process. The district encourages all residents to attend the upcoming Board of Education and budget workshop meetings. All meetings will be held in the Howitt Middle School East cafeteria at 8 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
