The Lafayette LSAT is preparing to advise Principal Prall about budget priorities for the 2025-2026 school year. The Lafayette HSA is also preparing its budget. As part of the process, both the LSAT and HSA hope to hear what is most important to our community members. As the budget process moves forward, cuts may need to be made and your feedback makes a difference. Please complete the LSAT / HSA Budget Feedback Survey to share your priorities for the school by February 21st, 2025.
The LSAT advises the principal on the school’s DCPS budget which covers costs associated with personnel (teachers, aides, administration, office staff) as well as professional development and certain technology and other supplies. The HSA budget, which comes from the Bear Fund, sponsorships, and events like the Auction, traditionally has helped to fill gaps left by the school’s DCPS budget. HSA funding does not pay for personnel, but covers costs of classroom supplies, extracurricular programming, support for the Peace and Recess Programs, and teacher appreciation, among other things.
