The Sharon Board of Education on March 10 recorded a motion to pass the district's fiscal 2025–26 budget and present it to the Board of Finance with a gross total cost of $6,158,332, a 1.20% increase from the prior year. The motion was made by Board member Philip O'Reilly and seconded by Board member Nancy Hegy Martin; the minutes show the motion but do not record a final vote tally for this item.
Principal Carol Tomkalski presented the budget "series by series," and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Jeanine Rose provided a written report for the Board to review. Superintendent Melony Brady-Shanley delivered a slideshow and answered members' questions during the discussion. Board member Nancy Hegy Martin reminded colleagues of the Board's mission to provide a quality education as the group considered budget priorities.
The Board also tabled its five‑year capital building project plan until the next meeting. During public comment, resident Audra Salazar asked the Board to review its tuition policy; Superintendent Brady‑Shanley suggested Salazar submit a formal written request so the Board could consider it in executive session.
Next procedural step: the motion as recorded will be presented to the Board of Finance, per the minutes.
