Measure: GPS Budget SOMR

Passed on 2025-04-21

Whereas the Education Committee was severely disappointed in of the BET decision to reduce the Board of Education’s Approved Operating Budget by $4,048,621 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Whereas the Representative Town Meeting feels it is our responsibility to make sure Greenwich Public Schools and its students are properly funded.

It is therefore resolved that it is the Sense of the Meeting that the RTM respectfully requests that BET re-open the Operating Budget vote for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, to better meet the financial needs of Greenwich Public Schools.
