HOLDEN Facing concerns about the budget impact of school costs as they put together the town budget, selectmen ended up passing on a Proposition 2½ override to bring in additional revenue.
At least for this year.
Facing a deficit of about $500,000, selectmen had planned the April 2 meeting to consider putting a Proposition 2½ override question on the town ballot to cover the school costs in excess of the $1 million increase the town had already included in its budget.
“It appears that there has been significant opposition to this year’s proposed school budget, both from public officials and from residents,” Town Manager Peter Lukes said.
