Budget Hearing with No Budget Published

📅 Public Hearing August 25, 2026

Gary ISD has scheduled a public hearing to discuss the proposed 2026-2027 budget, but the agenda provides no link or attachment to the actual budget document. This prevents taxpayers from reviewing the spending plan, potential tax increases, or new programs before the meeting. A public hearing is meaningless if the public isn’t given the information to review beforehand.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Gary ISD administration office. ‘Please immediately publish the full proposed 2026-2027 budget on the district website, well in advance of the August 25th hearing. Taxpayers cannot provide informed comment on a budget they have not been allowed to read.’
