Consultation and communication
Boards are expected to consult and communicate with their communities about the budget process and decisions. Much more than a legal requirement, it is the duty of elected boards to be accountable for and to engage the community in the use of public money.
When a community is engaged in the budget process, it is more likely to understand the financial situation facing the board and to support decisions made by that board.
