Budget proposals reflect inflation and sewer growth
The planning board proposes a 28,445,570 capital budget with 28 million for a sewer expansion and 315,200 for elementary school additions. The school committee backs a 5,065,123 budget for the next year, about 465,000 more than this year and 300,000 under the superintendent’s initial plan. The town council may cut teacher raises as negotiations continue. State aid remains uncertain while the sewer project could receive up to 90 percent funding from state and federal sources.
