Start the New Year Off With A Budget Meeting

Sounds fun, no?!

A commenter on Annarbor.com says that there will be meetings in January, but I don't see anything on their web site. I will update this if I get more information.
Dexter
Lots of budget information is here, including some useful information about state-level issues. I don't see any meeting information on their web site.
Lincoln
Budget information here. I don't see any meeting information on their web site.
Manchester 
Budget information here. I don't see any meeting information on their web site.
Milan
Budget information here, scroll to the bottom. I don't see any meeting information on their web site.
Saline
Saline Schools has a whole budget blog with lots of good information. Right now they are forming three committees that they want parents/taxpayers to apply to be on, looking at three budget areas: Building/Grade Reconfiguration Committee
Pay to Play Review Committee
Activity Fee Review Committee
The application form can be found on the budget blog, and the deadline is January 8, 2010.
Whitmore Lake
There is an opinion survey on the budget, which can be found here. I don't see any meeting information on their web site. 
Willow Run
I don't see any budget-related information on their web site, and no particular meetings either.
Ypsilanti
Budget meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, January 12, 7 p.m. at the Ypsi High School Media Center (lower level, 2095 Packard Rd.) and for Thursday, January 21, Perry CDC, 550 Perry Street, Psychomotor Room. (I'm not sure about the time for that one.) Additional budget information can be found here, and if you scroll down to the bottom (Other Information), you will find the budget information that was presented to the school board in mid-December, as well as a list of 2009-2010 proposed budget cuts.

And yes, there are kids in Washtenaw County who go to South Lyon, Plymouth-Canton, Grass Lake, and Van Buren school districts (among others)--and if you are a parent or taxpayer in one of those districts, you should visit their web sites to find out about the budget activities going on there.

Also--if you know about a meeting that is scheduled but I do not have listed, send me a note or add it to the comments. Thanks!
