HISD’s proposed $1.6 billion budget for the 2011 fiscal year is up for approval by trustees Thursday.
Before the vote, the public is welcome to voice their opinions in a public hearing, beginning at 5 p.m. at the Hattie Mae Center, 4400 West 18th St., Houston.

As promised, the proposed budget can be viewed online, here.

With the vote occurring immediately after the public hearing, Texas Watchdog earlier this month questioned whether it would it make a difference to speak out at the hearing. In any case, now is your chance to view the budget and come prepared to rant, rave, question or comment on it.

Texas Watchdog will be live tweeting from the meeting and hearing Thursday. Follow us on Twitter, @TexasWatchdog for immediate updates. You can also search for #HISD to comment, raise questions and join in the conversation.

The trustees will be all yours Thursday, but if something in the proposed budget catches your eye beforehand you can contact them here.
