Superintendent warns contingency budget would force roughly $2.2M in cuts
Summary
Superintendent Thomas J. Colabufo told the board the difference between a 3% proposition and a contingency 0% budget could require about $2.2 million in cuts to staff and programming if a contingency budget is enacted.
Superintendent Thomas J. Colabufo told the Central Square board that the upcoming vote on a proposed budget increase is important and that the district faces significant choices. He said that if a 3% increase is approved and placed on the ballot the district would experience a minimal impact to programs, but under a contingency budget (0% increase) the district would have to make approximately $2.2 million in cuts to staff and programming.
The superintendent’s summary was presented during the Superintendent’s Report and followed the district business manager’s budget presentation. The minutes record the superintendent’s estimate but do not break down which programs or positions would be affected; those details were not provided at the meeting and remain subject to later district planning and public disclosure.
