SOUTHWEST HARBOR
With the additional items of a pre-K program, window replacements for each stairwell and a new fifth–grade teacher position, the proposed FY22 budget for Pemetic Elementary School is expected to increase by 3.64 percent.
If the increase remains at the current proposed total, it equates to a 1.16 percent increase in the town appropriation, which means a difference of $7.50 per $100,000 of property value. Although the school committee has reviewed the budget twice, it has yet to approve it and it still needs to go before the Board of Selectmen and Warrant Committee.
