Darien Public School District Budget Process
The Council of Darien School Parents (CDSP) is the umbrella organization for all Darien Public School PTOs.
Did you know that the 2022-2023 Darien Public School District budget process kicks off soon?
Each school’s PTO Chairs and Budget Reps will want to hear ALL parents’ views about the proposed budget; they in turn will communicate these views back to this year’s CDSP Budget Chairs, Stacey Tié and Deb Ritchie.
CDSP will then formulate speeches based directly on collective feedback from parents so that the Board of Education can hear what is important to the community.
As always, PTO Chairs / School Budget Reps should be your first point of contact; if you’re not sure who this is for your school, please contact cdspbudget@gmail.com and we will gladly connect you.
