The Barnstable School Committee last Wednesday passed a nearly $75.7 million FY 22 district operating budget, an increase of $1 million, or 1.4% over the current year.
Supt. Meg Mayo-Brown said the budget is based on a plan for a full return to in-person schooling following the pandemic. Continuing online opportunities appears less likely next year, she said.
The budget drew no public comment at the committee’s March meeting except on a proposed amendment to hire additional substitute teachers, which failed by a 4:1 vote.
