As we prepare for the 2027-28 vote for the Marion CSD budget in May, the district is offering a series of workshops to help community members understand the process of developing a district budget. 

Each month during the school year, Marion administrators will gather in the Marion Jr-Sr High School library to discuss budget-related topics and answer questions from community residents. All meetings begin at 5:30 p.m. 

See the list of scheduled forums below. For workshops that have already taken place, a link to the slideshow for that workshop is provided.
