Regional School Committee Hearing (Advocacy opportunity in person)
March 10 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
This is the meeting at which members of the community can react to proposed budget cuts for next year and advocate for the budget!
The draft budget is available here. The draft budget closes a $1.1 million dollar gap through a combination of moving positions to revolving funds, applying more in reserves, and changing and eliminating some positions. In the end it looks like a net loss of approximately 8 full time equivalent positions. Pages 28-35 of the budget provide details on all of this. Please read through the proposed changes ahead of Thursday’s budget hearing and then speak up at the hearing.
