The Nevada Joint Union High School District held its second of two public forums focused on budget concerns last night. Currently the high school district is struggling with potential cuts that have been put in place because of ongoing issues with California’s state budget. The forums were designed to inform Nevada County residents of the district’s financial status as well as to what may happen as a result of the upcoming elections.
District Superintendent Marianne Cartan is pleased with the outcome of the two forums and information shared with the public.
