πŸ“° HUSD Strategic Plan And Budget. HUSD is starting to develop its new strategic plan, three years after the old one expired. Community engagement is starting, but some Trustees worry the process is rushed and nobody's checked what worked and didn't from last time.

πŸ’Έ As they close out last year's budget, HUSD is in a better position than they thought. But there's been some complicated financial maneuvering and there's still no plan for what to do with the additional money. Find out what the Board is saying in tonight's Hayward Herald!
