Residents press Central Square board on budget impacts to music, UPK and student programs
Summary
Several community members raised concerns during the public comment period about the proposed budget’s impact on music programs and universal prekindergarten (UPK). Speakers from local addresses asked the board to consider program protections.
Multiple residents addressed the board during the April 13 public comment period raising concerns about the district budget and potential impacts on student programs, especially music and UPK. The minutes list the speakers and their topics; speakers included Randy Wilkinson (409 Deer Run Drive), Nathan Downey (1476 County Route 23), David Downey (1476 County Route 23), David Pokow (183 Dry Bridge Road), Jessica Wilkinson (409 Deer Run Drive), Kristin Jeroloman (544 Morey Road), Kayla Svereika (215 Hickory Way), Tim Coyer (192 County Route 37), Aubrey Coyer (192 County Route 37) and Diandra Morse (318 County Route 37).
The meeting record identifies speakers and their subject lines (for example, multiple entries “re: Budget (Music)” and one entry “re: UPK”), but the minutes do not include extended verbatim statements of their remarks. The District Clerk’s supplemental file is noted as containing additional documents referenced during the meeting. The public comment block took place before the board’s formal votes on the budget and related agenda items.
