School budget recommended at $13.03 million; special education funding wins narrow committee support
Summary
The Budget Committee recommended the School bottom-line budget of $13,026,669 (default $13,005,473) and voted 3-2 to recommend $55,000 for special education; a $1 placeholder for building improvements was not recommended.
The Winchester Budget Committee recommended the school bottom‑line budget of $13,026,669 at its Jan. 6, 2025 meeting, and issued split votes on several school warrant items.
Neal Stetson moved and Jake Blake seconded the committee’s recommendation of the $13,026,669 school budget (default $13,005,473); the motion carried 5-0. Committee members declined to recommend a $1 placeholder for building improvements (motion to not recommend carried 3-0), with Chair Kevin Bazan saying the $1 item was unnecessary simply to keep the line open on the warrant.
