The Rockport School Committee voted unanimously to approve the FY27 operating budget after a public hearing and a detailed staff presentation. Doctor Branco presented the budget book and explained the district's proposed operating budget total of "$17,000,007.28" and the adjusted town contribution ask of "$14,627,894" after accounting for a planned transfer of certain buildings/grounds and transportation costs to the town DPW.
Doctor Branco described the presentation approach and the reasoning behind the adjustments, saying the yellow highlights through the book show costs that "will be transferred to the town DPW" and that this accounting yields an apples‑to‑apples comparison. The chair closed the public hearing, recorded the motion to approve the budget and later announced "That is a unanimous vote to support the f y 27 budget." Committee members thanked Doctor Branco and the leadership team for the work and noted the next steps will include engagement with the Select Board and FinCom and distribution of bound and PDF copies of the approved book.
