The Select Board unanimously voted to forward a balanced FY27 town budget to the Finance Committee after department heads closed the town’s share of a $1.6 million health insurance-related deficit. The school department reported a separate $4.1 million deficit that could require $1.5 million in operating cuts and about 36 staff reductions; the Board said voters should decide whether to approve an override.
