Notes About Free Meals

Board Votes on Final 2023-24 Budget
On March 27, 2023, the Board of Education finalized the school budget for next school year. The Board reduced the budget by $460,000 as required by a Town Council vote. The Board focused on budget items that would not directly impact student instruction.
Three budget lines were adjusted. The magnet school tuition line was adjusted by $140,000. This reflects additional Open Choice student funding our district will receive. The fuel budget line was decreased by $60,000. This is because the Town locked in a more favorable diesel rate than that originally projected last year. Lastly, the out-of-district tuition line was adjusted by $260,000. These savings are possible because more Glastonbury students are attending our in-house LINKS Academy program rather than being outplaced to more expensive programs.
To view budget documents, please visit the BOE Budget page of our website.
Recognizing Student Support Personnel
School Support Center clinicians and social workers from Glastonbury Youth and Family Services were recently recognized at a Board of Education meeting. These dedicated professionals provide critical support to students and families in our school community.
