 Budget Requests
Acknowledging the substantial backing we presently
enjoy, Fine Arts intends to enhance our current
resources and partnerships without seeking
•
additional funding for staffing or services. Our focus
lies on a modest rise in equipment requests to
address the expected replacement needs as
equipment ages and necessitates renewal.

The optimization of resources emerges as a crucial

avenue for advancing the Fine and Performing Arts
program.
