The budget passed at the referendum without the proposed cuts. Our efforts ensured the Board of Education funding remains intact for the coming year. I am now transitioning to monitoring the implementation process to ensure these funds are allocated as intended.

The current level of support provides a clear mandate as I prepare to present our position to the Board of Finance. I have requested a formal meeting to discuss these findings and ensure the full budget proposal remains intact for the upcoming referendum.

My son graduates next year but I still want the younger kids to have what he had. Keep the funding up.

2.9 percent is a totally reasonable increase. Taxes go up on everything else so why are we acting like this is some massive shock

RIDICULOUS to keep cutting. pay for quality education or dont complain when property values dip.
