Dear Vestavia Hills Families and Staff,

When you choose Vestavia Hills, you're investing in our school system and shaping the future for every child in our community. We take that responsibility seriously, and we want you to see exactly how your support makes a difference.

Our Board of Education has just approved our 2025-26 budget, and we're excited to share the details with you. Guided by The Vestavia Way, every financial decision we make focuses on student experience, employee engagement, family and community partnerships, and stewardship and support.

Watch our budget overview video below where Dr. Freeman will walk through the key highlights and explain how we're investing in what matters most: your children's education, and the dedicated people who serve them every day.

Or, if you'd like to dive deeper into the numbers, explore our complete 2025-26 budget through our ClearGov Budget Portal, where you can see every dollar and how it supports Learning Without Limits.

From the 114 teachers funded entirely by your local tax dollars to the academic interventionists, counselors, and support staff who create safe and engaging learning environments — this budget reflects our unwavering commitment to every child we serve. Thank you for your continued support of Vestavia Hills City Schools!
