Graphic from Little Rock School District titled “Optimizing Our Tomorrow: Budget Conversations – Community Meetings.” The top of the image shows the Little Rock School District logo and name over a blue background with charts and data visuals. The graphic explains that the Fiscal Year 2027 budget priorities include spending only the money the District actually has, adjusting staff levels to match student enrollment, cutting overall spending to address long-term budget gaps, building a healthier savings balance for future financial challenges, and protecting programs, people, and resources that matter most to students and classrooms. The graphic invites all community members, especially parents, students, staff, and families, to participate in discussions about the future of the District and its budget. It emphasizes that community feedback is important and reflects the District’s commitment to transparency and listening. The bottom of the graphic lists two community meeting dates: February seventeenth, evening session at five thirty p.m. at Southwest Community Center; and February nineteenth, evening session at five thirty p.m. at Henderson.

En la parte superior aparece el logotipo y el nombre del Distrito Escolar de Little Rock sobre un fondo azul con gráficos y elementos visuales relacionados con datos financieros. El gráfico explica que, como parte del proceso de elaboración del presupuesto para el año fiscal dos mil veintisiete, el Distrito ha establecido metas y prioridades claras, incluyendo gastar dentro de los fondos disponibles, ajustar el personal según la cantidad de estudiantes matriculados, reducir el gasto general para abordar déficits presupuestarios a largo plazo, crear un fondo de reserva más sólido para proteger al Distrito de futuros desafíos financieros, y proteger los programas, el personal y los recursos que son más importantes para los estudiantes y las aulas. El gráfico invita a todos los miembros de la comunidad de Little Rock, especialmente a padres, estudiantes, personal y miembros de la comunidad, a participar en las conversaciones sobre el futuro del Distrito Escolar de Little Rock y su presupuesto.
