The district will maintain a balanced budget, continue to educate staff and parents about school funding and explore methods to increase revenue to the district and educate staff and the public

3. MWUSD WILL WISELY INVEST IN OUR SCHOOL FACILITIES.

The district will complete the improvements of our elementary schools by successfully implementing our facilities bond. The Board has adopted a calendar and budget to execute the specific projects in the bond measure to have safe and up-to-date school facilities.
