Tuesday, May 4, 2010 REFERENDUM in each respective town on the Board of Education’s Budget for 2010/2011

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.
