Windsor Locks board approves $761,392 in reductions and votes to appeal FY26 budget
Summary
The Windsor Locks Board of Education approved $761,392.52 in proposed reductions and voted unanimously to appeal to the Board of Finance for $815,135.48 in the FY26 budget. The motion passed after superintendent-provided handouts and discussion.
The Windsor Locks Board of Education voted unanimously on March 13 to adopt proposed reductions totaling $761,392.52 and to appeal the district's FY26 budget to the Board of Finance for $815,135.48.
Superintendent Shawn Parkhurst presented a handout of proposed cuts and reviewed each recommended reduction before the board discussed the proposal. The motion to approve the reductions was made by Vice-Chair D. Gragnolati and seconded by G. Guyette; the board approved the motion unanimously.
The board's decision establishes the district's formal appeal position ahead of the Board of Finance deliberations. Parkhurst characterized the handout as a set of leadership-team recommendations and explained the board would present the approved reductions as its appeal argument to the Board of Finance. The precise line-item reductions were provided in the meeting packet and reviewed during the discussion.
Next steps: the Board of Finance will deliberate on the district's FY26 proposal and the board's appeal on its upcoming schedule. The Windsor Locks Board of Education will continue to coordinate with the superintendent and finance staff on materials for that appeal.
