Your Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School District Board of Education cordially invites you to take an active role in the educational affairs of our community. There are multiple ways to get involved, including:
Public Budget Advisory Council (PBAC)
The PBAC includes community members, Board of Education members and District advisors who meet weekly from January through mid-March to review, offer feedback and make recommendations regarding all of the programs and services being recommended for the upcoming school year based on information from each site. The PBAC advises the District and Board of Education as to the strategic wisdom of program proposals, as well as the affordability of those proposals. If you are interested in participating on the PBAC, please contact Bruce Capron, Assistant Superintendent for Business and Operations.
