Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The proposed increase reflects contractual obligations, special education tuition, transportation, and operating cost inflation. The proposal was reduced from an initial 8.39% increase through staffing and transportation reductions and by moving security improvements to a future Annual Town Meeting article funded with Free Cash. The meeting did not record a vote approving the school budget.
