BOE Approves 25-26 Budget
On January 13, 2025, the Board of Education voted to adopt a $130,056,213 education budget for the 2025-2026 school year. The theme for the 2025-2026 education budget is Driven by Need. Powered by People.
The budget is an increase of 4.49% over the current year’s budget. The increase is tied directly to our goals and the needs of students and staff. Staff salaries and benefits account for 100% of the budget increase. In fact, reductions were made throughout the budget to prioritize faculty and staff while minimizing the overall budget increase.
The Board of Education will meet with the Board of Finance and the Town Council to discuss the education budget. The Town Council will vote on the final budget later in March. To view budget documents as they become available, please visit the BOE Budget page. To view meeting information, including options for participating during public comment, visit the BOE Meetings page.
