The Up-Island Regional School District (UIRSD) certified approximately $13 million expense and assessment budgets for FY22 during the school board’s meeting Monday.
In the fifth draft of the budget, UIRSD committee chair Alex Salop said the line items in both the general operating budget and the assessed budget had been carefully combed through by school officials, and all were deemed to be “absolutely necessary” in order to continue providing the expected level of service to students. “We largely trust our school heads and principals to make the right decisions on what is needed on a line item basis,” Salop said.
