The proposed FY’27 budget would increase school operating spending by 9.54%, with major cost pressures from out-of-district tuition, vocational programs, and transportation. The district also expects a possible shortfall of approximately $700,000 in the current fiscal year, partly offset by savings in vocational tuition. The proposed budget is scheduled for review at a School Committee public hearing on March 24.
