23. BB11 Realistic and Responsible From 2012 Budget AssumptionsAdopted November 2010 Realistic: The 5.5 million dollar override in FY2008 created a solid foundation for improving student achievement. Yet, these new funds were only a beginning to the turn around. In 2010 the schools received an increase of $200,000 to cover the full day kindergarten program, while all other programs were level funded. For FY2011 the town provided an additional $500,000 for the schools. However, each year the school’s cost to operate at the same level as the prior year cost an additional 1.5 to 2.5 million dollars. In recent years, the school’s have been able to manage it’s funds in a manner to reduce the impact of those cost increases through the reduction of staff and programs, a practice that cannot continue.
