YPSILANTI, MI - The public will have the chance to offer input on Ypsilanti Community Schools' proposed 2016-17 budget at 6:30 p.m. today, June 27.

The budget hearing will take place at the Administration Building, 1885 Packard Road, followed by a regular board meeting at 7 p.m.

In addition to voting on the proposed 2016-17 budget, the board is expected to take action on a final amendment to the 2015-16 budget, a proposed contract with Chartwells School Dining Services, and a proposal that would have laid off 14 teachers and one counselor.

Board members decided at the June 13 meeting to table the layoffs until they received more information on how the move would impact programming at the high school.

The board packet is available here, and continue to watch this post for live updates from the meeting this evening.
