The public
is more than welcome to attend any of the budget workshops and any
of the Budget Committee meetings. Certainly our Budget
Committee is eager to communicate effectively with the town
officials in both Haddam and Killingworth. As a Budget Committee
responsible for articulating the educational needs of the school
district in a fiscally responsible manner, we have the difficult
task of striking a balance between our educational needs and our
fiscal responsibilities.
Our committee will be monitoring activity and actions at the
legislative level most carefully, and wherever possible will be
providing input in order to protect both the educational and
financial interests of the district and our
towns.
