Financial Transparency Committee

The Financial Transparency Committee is composed of community representatives within the district, along with community members, all dedicated to promoting a clear understanding of D38’s financial practices. We meet monthly throughout the school year to discuss a variety of topics, including budgets, current projects, funding, and more, at the school, district, state, and federal levels. Each meeting typically covers multiple subjects and often features guest speakers.
