Dear Homer Central School District Community,

As many of you are aware, our district is currently facing a significant fiscal crisis. Navigating these financial challenges requires transparency and expert guidance.

To help us understand our current standing and chart a path forward, we cordially invite you to a special Board of Education presentation led by educational finance expert Dr. Rick Timbs.

Dr. Timbs brings decades of experience in school leadership, business, and finance. During this presentation, he will provide an unvarnished, factual look at our district's finances and offer expert guidance on how we can secure our long-term educational future.

What to Expect:

• Comprehensive Budget Overview: A clear, accessible breakdown of the current Homer Central School District budget.

• Historical Analysis: An objective look at the financial history and structural factors that led to our current fiscal situation.

• Strategic Recommendations: Actionable, expert recommendations and potential pathways to guide the district out of this crisis and restore long-term financial stability.

Understanding how we got here is the first step; deciding how we move forward together is the next. Whether you are a parent, staff member, or community resident, your understanding is vital to this process.

Event Details:

• Date: April 9, 2026
