School officials are hoping to work out a solution with the attached public library for space and have budgeted $51,144 for a prekindergarten teacher and teaching assistant. The balance of the $101,000 would cover other essentials such as insurance, supplies and other needs but not necessarily any renovations required. In total, the $2.7 million school budget reviewed by the Finance Committee on Monday morning is up $202,000 from this year s $2,507,086. The anticipated annual 2.5 increase is $62,677 and the preK program $101,000, leaving about a $39,000 gap. Assistant Superintendent of Operations & Finance Jennifer Macksey said the budget is largely driven by fixed costs, contractual and minimum wage increases and plans for the preK program.
