STAMFORD Stamford school officials, who watched as their proposed budget increase last year was almost entirely shredded, voted on Tuesday to bring their finances back to the level they envisioned pre-COVID-19.
Members of the Board of Education approved an operating budget of $303.6 million, an increase of 6.34 percent over the current fiscal year. Last year, the district had asked for $301.5 million, before the onset of the pandemic impacted the city’s financial outlook.
