It has been a while since I have posted anything and will try to be more diligent in getting information out.
The Fremont School Board and administration reviewed the 2010-2011 budget with the Fremont Budget committee last Saturday. I have had posted on our web site talking points for the budget and encourage you to go there to review the overview.
More generally, the budget supports the district goals. It is an increase of $358,192 representing a 3.41% increase. It does not include collective bargaining (except step increases for teachers) increases that will be identified in separate warrant articles. The administration is requesting 2 additional teachers next year; one at grade one and one at grade two.
This is an abbreviated overview and more detail can be obtained on the web site. Additionally, I would be glad to sit down and discuss the budget with anyone who is interested.
