HALLOWELL Despite municipal officials urging additional cuts to the proposed 2021-2022 budget, the Regional School Unit 2 school board’s Finance Committee is not going to do so.
The full school board will consider approving it Thursday night, before sending it on to residents of the district to vote on June 8.
Monday night, a presentation to municipal officials resulted in concern that the school spending would mean the member towns and city would have to make significant cuts to their municipal budgets. On Tuesday, the Finance Committee kept its stance that its responsibility was to fund the school district, not worry about how municipal governments would manage their spending plans.
