Local citizens can share their thoughts on priorities for the 2012-13 Kershaw County School District budget through a new survey on the district’s website.

“We have been through very challenging financial times and the school board has had to make a lot of difficult budget reductions,” Kershaw County School District Superintendent Frank Morgan said. “We are in no way ‘out of the woods’ yet but the revenue picture is looking a little better than in previous years. With that in mind, we’d like to hear from persons as to which budget items should be the first to be reinstated.”

Morgan said that the survey is a “data point” for the Kershaw County School Board as it begins its budget deliberations this spring. “We have done online budget surveys in the past and found them to be a good way to receive input from persons interested in expressing their opinions.”

The survey contains over 30 items that have been reduced or eliminated from the district’s general fund in the past few years. Persons are asked to provide their top three priority items. There is also a place to provide additional comments.

Morgan said the survey will be available at www.kershaw.k12.sc.us until Feb. 3. Results of the survey will be shared with the Kershaw County School Board and the public.
