Citizens' Budget Advisory Committee (CBAC)
Recognizing that broad community participation in the
district budget development process is vital to ensure public support of the
district’s program, the Guilderland Board of Education annually convenes a
Citizens’ Budget Advisory Committee (CBAC) to review the district
administration’s budget proposal and to make recommendations to the Board
regarding its educational and economic impact.
Membership on CBAC is open to all interested residents and representatives
of community organizations. Members of the Committee will be expected to
attend all meetings, be prepared by reviewing provided materials, and engage
in constructive dialogue about the issues and elements of the district
financial plan.
