Superintendent Barbara Malkas cautioned that this is still a preliminary budget and that "there are still a lot of moving parts."
"This year it feels a little bit more predictable mainly because the governor did issue a budget on Jan. 27," she told the School Committee's finance subcommittee last week. "So the timeline that by which we're going to know about funding will be better than it was last year."
Business Administrator Carolyn Burnett explained during her presentation that the district is being "held harmless" in that it will not see a decrease in Chapter 70 education aid despite have a drop in enrollment.
