AVOID A SIX FIGURE BUDGET DEFICIT

The pandemic is the gift that keeps on giving and our PA budget reflects it.  

We are on track to end our fiscal year with a deficit somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 - 6 figures.

This means that next year there will be cutbacks on many PA initiatives such as:  

• Online Grade Book 
• All School Musical and Rising Stars
• Consultants for Auditions/CallBack
• Teacher Professional Development
• Performance Space Maintenance
• Financial Aid for Graduation Expenses
• Financial Aid for AP exams and pSAT and SAT prep
• Spirit of LaG Awards
• Student Clubs
• Athletics

…and more.
