As the 2025 election approaches, Katie Heiden, a candidate for the Oswego District 308 Board of Education, has highlighted a critical issue facing the district: the potential impact of dissolving specific federal funding streams. Heiden emphasized that the loss of these funds could significantly affect various programs and resources essential for the district's students and staff.
Federal funding plays a vital role in supporting educational initiatives, providing necessary resources for special education, technology, and extracurricular activities. Heiden expressed her concern that without these financial supports, the district may struggle to maintain the quality of education it strives to offer. She believes that proactive measures must be taken to ensure that the district can adapt to any changes in funding.
Heiden's commitment to advocating for the district's needs underscores her dedication to maintaining a robust educational environment. As the election draws near, she aims to engage with the community to discuss strategies for securing and sustaining essential resources for District 308.
