The FY27 school budget request is $62.9 million, but a 6.3% increase in health insurance premiums created a $3.8 million shortfall. A $2 million override would reduce, but not eliminate, school reductions. The committee also reviewed a $646,000 snow and ice deficit, a $200,000 roof-design request tied to potential reimbursement, and growing demand for senior and public health services.
