Community Budget Survey
As we look ahead to the 2025-2026 school year, Goochland County Public Schools is seeking your input to help shape our school division’s budget. Your voice is crucial in ensuring we continue to meet the needs of our students and community while efficiently using available resources.
We kindly ask that you take a few minutes to complete our 2025-2026 Community Budget Survey. This is an opportunity for you to share your thoughts on what should be prioritized in next year’s budget, what initiatives should continue, and where we can make improvements or achieve savings. Whether it’s an idea you’ve seen elsewhere, something we could do differently, or a new initiative, we value your feedback.
Please complete the survey by Friday, November 1, 2024. Your responses will be reviewed and considered as part of our budget planning process, with a report presented to the School Board on November 12, 2024.

We encourage you to attend the November 12th School Board meeting (6:00 p.m., Goochland County Administration Building, Room 250) if you would like to share your thoughts publicly.
Thank you for your time and for being a vital part of our school community. Together, we can ensure the success of all our students.
