March 24, 2016 - Kasidy Probert, the Finance Officer for Cheney School district, spoke to 18 club members.  He presented statistics on the annual budget and what expense categories are funded by local levies and fees; how much is funded by the state and what programs are funded by federal funds.  Snowdon elementary is already filled to capacity and the district will seek public input regarding any additional schools.  The student-teacher ratio average for the district was discussed; he noted that state regulations stipulate a 17 to 1 average for K-4th grades and larger ratios are allowed in the higher grades.
