"We are in the middle of budget season," Superintendent Aaron Dean said at Monday's school committee meeting. "In the middle of everything we are in right now, we have to build a budget that is reflective of everything we want to do."
Business Manager Erika Snyder said the district anticipates a small increase in Chapter 70 education funding typical of past years. She said funding will likely go up $30 per foundation enrollment student.
All in all, she said, the district would be looking at a $21,875 increase that will likely not cover fixed increases.
"We can't do much with that," Snyder said. "Any kind of increase we find in our budget falls to the towns. So we have some work to do in terms of getting our budget to where we can present it to the School Committee and the towns."
