School leaders highlight grants and a $100,000 STEM donation in FY27 budget book
Summary
The budget book lists federal and competitive grants and a private donor commitment of $100,000 over five years to support grades 5–12 STEM initiatives; leadership said these revenues supplement the town appropriation and help cover program costs.
Dr. Branco reviewed the district's grant and donation picture as part of the budget presentation. She pointed to federal grant lines, competitive grants, and a notable private contribution: a donor committed $100,000 over five years to support STEM for grades 5–12.
She explained that these revenues are not part of the town appropriation but supplement the operating budget and are reflected in the revenue section of the book. The presentation also noted that some revenue streams (for example, Medicaid reimbursements) arrive on a delayed schedule and flow through town accounts rather than into the school department directly.
