School District Seeks Budget Advisory Committee Members

Long Beach Public Schools seeks school district residents to serve on the district’s 2013-14 Budget Advisory Committee.

Last May, the the Citizen’s Budget Advisory Committee gave its report on the then proposed $122.1 million budget for 2011-13. Lilly Newman, a member of the advisory committee that typically consists of volunteers and school officials who study the new budget, proposed a reassessment of benefits, such as workers compensation and medical and dental, as well as several other areas the committee believes the school district has over compensated their employees.
