SASD Annual Meeting The Annual Meeting for the Sparta Area School District will take place at Meadowview Middle School on Thursday, October 19, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. We invite all stakeholders to attend the meeting to discuss, evaluate, and plan for the upcoming academic year. This is an opportunity to have all district eligible voters give feedback on the direction the school district should consider when adopting the 2023-24 school budget. By engaging a diverse range of perspectives and expertise, the annual meeting helps the school district chart a well informed course for the future, promoting collaboration and transparency. During the Annual Meeting, district leadership will present an overview of the District and financial status. This information is crucial in providing communication to the community and fostering a sense of accountability. This forum also allows parents and community members to provide feedback and actively participate in the decision making processes that impact their children’s education. A detailed Annual Meeting handout will be available that provides a district and budget overview, tax levy and mill rate information, District expenses, and so much more. Once again, we encourage all community members to attend and participate on October 19, 2023, at Meadowview Middle School at 6:30 p.m.
