2025-26 School Year Budget
Budget Details:
- Budget Vote/Board of Education Election: May 20, 12:00-9:00 p.m. Board of Education Room
The $40 million proposed budget calls for a 1.71% spending increase and an estimated tax levy of 1.9%, which is below the district’s allowable tax cap. Tax rates for individual properties will be determined over the summer once equalization rates and assessments are available for the district’s seven towns. The budget proposal exemplifies a continued effort to remain fiscally conservative for taxpayers while maintaining academic programming and staffing. Click here to read more.
