FY2026
FY2026 Budget
The FY26 proposed operating budget reflects careful planning and strategic efforts to balance the District’s ability to maintain excellence in educational programming for students while working within the reasonable and real limitations of the Town’s budget and overall levy capacity.
The FY26 proposed operating budget request includes an 5.67% increase over FY25 driven primarily by:
- Unpredictable transportation costs for the 2025-2026 school year.
- Enrollment growth in highly specialized programs for children with Autism spectrum disorders.
- Reasonable wage growth assumptions for unsettled collective bargaining agreements.
- Structural corrections to the District’s budget development process.
