The system is being used in communities across the nation for citizen engagement on fiscal matters. Mayor Walsh continued, “We want to make the City’s budgeting process more transparent to members of our community.” To allocate funds to departments and initiatives while considering current operational needs, copy and paste http://bit.ly/syrlivebudget2022 into your browser.

Prior to graduating high school, these SCSD students will have already taken college level courses, having explored fields and topics in a way that could help guide their future interests.
