As you probably know, a second referendum on the school budget is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, June 6, 2025.
There are arguments about specific expense lines, and you can read the Board of Ed’s responses and explanations to many of them here. Thank you to the Board of Ed for putting out this information.
It’s hard to compare statistics across districts—budget categories are different; staff functions are divided up in various ways; student populations have different needs. The bottom line is that our school board members spend many, many hours trying to provide as good an education as possible for as reasonable cost as possible. Since our schools are highly successful and our per pupil costs are well within the range of other Connecticut districts, I trust that the board made careful choices in constructing the budget. They have continued to refine it, and they will monitor it throughout the year.
Please join me in voting yes for a strong education for the next generation.
Every vote counts!
