$18.2M RSU 24 budget drafted
SULLIVAN The Regional School Unit 24 (RSU 24) Budget and Finance Committee unanimously approved April 7 presenting its recommended budget for the 2021-22 year to the district’s board of directors at the board’s May 4 meeting.
The budget, totaling $18,245,701, represents an increase of 5 percent from the current budget. The bulk of the increase is due to the debt service from the construction of the new Charles M. Sumner Learning Campus, the grades-6-through-12 school currently being built behind Sumner Memorial High School.
Without the debt service, which rings in at $721,416, the budget’s increase from last year is not even 1 percent.

Students are scheduled to return to in-person learning Monday, April 12.
