Dear Angela,

This week the Council took its second vote on the fiscal year 2024 budget to lock in funding levels for District programs and services. First, a big thank you to everyone who contacted me and my office with what you wanted to see funded in the budget! We can never fund as much as I'd want, but I'm proud of what we accomplished: from funding our safety net to keep people housed, to investments in education that address teacher turnover and build our behavioral health workforce pipeline. In the brief video below I want to share some of the budget accomplishments that will make a difference for residents like you. There is one more vote left that will take place in June before the budget is finalized and I'll be sure to keep you updated.

Sincerely,

Robert
