Budget Advisory
Franklin Pierce Schools is going through a budget alignment process in preparation for the 2024-2025 school year. This page will house information about the process and allow members of the FPS community to provide feedback. The goal of this process is to better align district expenses with our current enrollment and account for the expiration of COVID relief resources.
