SUMMARY:Town Council Meeting (please show up!)
DESCRIPTION:What: Town Council Meeting \nWhen:  Monday April 7th\, 6:30 PM\nWhere/How: In person at Town Hall or via Zoom\nAnd/or email your Town Councilors\nWhat to ask: Change the budget guidelines to direct the Town Manager to include the amount requested by the schools in the FY26 budget and vote yes to the Regional Schools budget as passed by the School Committee. These budgets restore the most essential positions and still require deep cuts – they are a fraction of what our schools need and the Town can afford it.\n\nOn Monday April 7th\, Town Council will continue its discussion of Councilor Ana Devlin Gauthier’s proposal to increase the percentage for the schools for FY26 by amending the budget guidelines. As far as the Elementary School budget goes\, unless the Council amends the guidelines\, the Town Manager can give the schools a lower budget amount than requested\, and the Council can’t increase it. So\, this is important. Please see the awesome attached graphic Geneva made to illustrate our current situation and where we go from here.\n\nAlso on the agenda is the Regional Schools budget – it seems that this budget really should go directly to the Town Council as they\, and not the manager\, are the “appropriating authority”.  It looks like they are scheduling a public hearing on the Regional Budget for Monday April 28th – so please save that date!\n\nMany of us already showed up in person or via Zoom\, but it appears that we just have to keep reminding them that we still care – so if you are able\, please try to join Monday’s meeting in-person or via Zoom to make a comment and/or directly email your District Councilors (plus at large Councilors) before Monday. Find all the resources you need on the SOS Website. There is a public hearing about CPA funds at the beginning of the Council meeting\, so public comment could start closer to 7-7:30\, but please be alert as the Council President has been known to flip the agenda.\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n
