Participate in the 2009-2010 Budget Process
The Board of Selectemen has asked all town departments to develop FY10 budgets that are level funded – which means they will be the same dollar amount in FY10 that they were in FY9. For the School Department, that represents an approximate $2 million reduction in services due to increases in contractual obligations, mandated services, and increased costs. Please come to the budget presentations to the School Committee to learn what the individual school impacts will be.
Below are dates for important meetings and presentations to the School Committee and Selectmen as they prepare the 2009-2010 budgets. Dr. Phelan submitted his preliminary budget to the School Committee on December 18. Follow this link to see the information: http://www.hopkinton.k12.ma.us/newweb2/schoolcommittee/budget/budget.php.
