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.
The district is pleased to announce that
the inductees to the 2010 class of the Haddam-Killingworth Hall of
Fame are: Frank Sparks, Robert Baranoff and Michael Kish. These
inductees will be honored at a dinner scheduled fro June 5,
2010. Details regarding purchasing tickets to this dinner will
be made available very
soon.

Rachel Roberts, Grade 10studet at HKHS. Rachel's outstanding
academic achievement has qualified her for membership in the

of Connecticut as a National Scholar at the National Young Leaders
