Community Budget Feedback Process

Your Voice, Your Priorities, Our Budget

The Rochester City School District began work on the 2026–27 budget. The OneRCSD Strategic Plan guides all decisions, and your feedback will help inform the District's budget priorities. This fall, Superintendent Dr. Rosser asked all students, staff, and community to offer feedback about their budget priorities via a community feedback survey. At the November 20th Board of Education meeting, the superintendent shared the survey results and how this feedback helped inform our budget priorities.
