The Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union board this week unanimously approved a nearly $5 million budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.
The supervisory union manages the operations of its three-member districts, the Taconic & Green Regional School District, Mettawee School District and Winhall Town School District, which together encompass a dozen towns across four counties.
Each of the three districts helps to fund the work of the BRSU, which also relies upon grant funding and other revenue sources.
The $4,991,733 budget represents a 9.6 percent increase over the current fiscal year’s budget.
A substantial chunk of that increase is attributable to an increase in the line item related to student and staff support, which includes new software purchases; the establishment of a new, partially grant-funded multi-tiered system of supports and equity coordinator position; and a position responsible for investigating hazing, harassment and bullying, which previously was housed only within the T&G budget but for next year would serve Mettawee, too.
