What this means
The approved budget sets the School Committee’s FY27 spending proposal at 3.92% above the current fiscal year, with adjusted offsets included. The generator article would fund equipment intended to support Auburn High School’s emergency and safety needs, but the excerpt does not show whether town meeting approved the appropriation. The committee also unanimously approved March 20, 2026, as a make-up school day for Auburn High School students after a February closure; 71% of responding families supported the date.
