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.
Lead by Captains John Abbott and Kyle McCormick, the HKMS Boys'
Basketball team finished its season with an undefeated 14-0 record.
Ethan Kovach was awarded the team's Cougar Award for his outstanding
hustle and determination. The team averaged 33 rebounds per game for
a total of 471. The Cougars let up an average of 32 points per game
to total 457 points scored against them on the season. This is a
remarkable accomplishment having rebounded the ball more times than
the opponents scored points. HK themselves averaged 51 points each
game. The team also had 5 players with over 50 points on the season.
This really was a group effort and such a rewarding experience for
all that were involved.
