BoE approves modest budget changes and program shifts
The Board of Education plans to eliminate the fourth grade exploratory music program next year while all fifth graders will take exploratory instrumental music. Funding for elementary field trips and several arts and eighth grade Outdoor School trips is cut, and non school group facility rental fees rise by 50 percent. The board retained some Gadra proposals by protecting a Renzulli specialist, adding counselors and staff, and shifting $26,000 from capital improvements to balance the budget.
