WESTPORT Technology demands and building on special education services will be some of the biggest challenges school officials will face as they head into the budget season.
Superintendent Thomas Scarice also echoed the Board of Finance’s request to approach the budget process as if it were a normal year to help focus on a normal recovery.
“I felt it was important for the first year for me to experience the budget process as you have done it,” Scarice said in a school board meeting Monday. “There are enough projects and challenges and tasks that this was not something that I felt that I could take on, nor should I, without experiencing it and what strengths there are to build off of before I question practices.”
