    THE HOOT Volume 3 Spring 2018 The Deliberative Session By Niko Kakouris Annually, the Timberlane community gathers into the gym and sits before the school board and budget members of the district for its deliberative session. At delibera- tive session, the members of the community are allowed to voice concerns and revisions to proposed articles with the school board and the budget committee before the articles go to vote in the community for the March 13th vote. The main concern year to year is the school budget, which deals with how to spend the district taxpayers’ money for the district’s educational needs. In some past and present years, mem- bers of the committee have sought to make cuts.
