Chair Robinson opened the Floor to the School Committee to ask clarifying questions <br /> regarding the FY21 budget. <br /> Mr. Wise asked for clarification on several questions. There was discussion about <br /> uniform replacement/refresh, specifically the band uniforms. Dr. Doherty has not been <br /> made aware of any issues with the band uniforms. <br /> Dr. Dockser appreciated the time and effort put into answering the submitted questions. <br /> She is concerned about the increased load on teachers and administrators. <br /> Dr. Doherty said this is a level service budget which will allow us to continue to move <br /> the district forward. <br /> Mrs.Borawski moved,seconded by Mr.Parks,to approve the FY2021 School <br /> Department Budget in the amount of$48.419.663. <br /> Dr.Dockser appreciates the hard work that went into developing this budget. A level <br /> service budget is not ideal. <br /> Dr. Doherty said this is a good budget and it allows us to continue to move the district <br /> forward. <br /> Geoffrey Comm,Ridge Road, said that in previous years the committee had to cut items <br /> from the budget and wondered what we are missing out on with the level service budget. <br /> Mr.Robinson said it could be many items. Dr. Doherty added that he is not comfortable <br /> discussing a"wishlist"without going through the process of consultation with the district <br /> and central office leadership teams. Mr. Robinson said that this discussion could <br /> possibly take place after the budget season. <br /> Mr. Coram asked,"what do we need to address at this time to save money down the <br /> line." <br /> The motion carried 6-0. <br /> IL Routine Matters <br /> a.
