Chairman of the Finance Committee, Mike O’Connor made a presentation to the Board and School Committee regarding the upcoming budget season. *Please see attached documents.
Mr. O’Connor took the last five years of budgets and broke them down. He explained where the total revenues come from and where the money has to go. He also pointed out the pressure points and controls in the budget. The biggest issues are out of district costs, insurance and pensions. He expects the Selectmen and School Committee to come to a split agreement sooner rather than later.
Respectfully submitted,
