Budget Ambassadors

  • The Gates Chili Budget Ambassador program wrapped up on March 16 after a fruitful first year in the district. The group of 11 ambassadors met with Superintendent Christopher Dailey, Assistant Superintendent for Business Dr. Mitchell Ball, District Treasurer Sally Sanford and Payroll/Benefits Manager and Budget Analyst Anna Lamb for two three-hour sessions. Each session, participants engaged in discussion on the budget development process and where funds are generated and allocated in the budget each year. Budget Ambassadors learned about the making of a school budget, as well as the district’s overall fiscal health and outlook. The group asked poignant questions during the presentations and provided valuable insight and feedback.
