Superintendent James Brosnan presented the fiscal 2022 budget Thursday night that has increased nearly $270,000 over this year s $10,038,602 spending plan. As in past years, Brosnan told the School Committee of the regional vocational district it was a conservative budget and not to expect anything flashy in it. I can t really think of a better word. I say it over and over and you get sick of hearing it, Brosnan said. It really is kind of a vanilla budget. School Committee member Daniel Maloney, Jr. reiterated this and said the bulk of the increase lies with contracted salary increases among staff. He said much of the budget is level-funded.
