William C. Brown and to vote on the following question: Shall the Town of Reading be allowed to assess an additional $4.15 million in real estate and personal property taxes for the purposes of the general operation of the Public Schools for Classroom Teachers ($1,802,484); Teaching, Learning and Classroom Support ($821,429); and Athletics ($31,056); for 5 Police Officers and 4 Firefighter /paramedics ($1,050,311); for General Government including Public Works, Finance, Technology, Human /Elder Services and Inspections ($317,391); and for increased hours and staffing for the Public Library ($127,329) for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018? Yes No A. USE OF ADDITIONAL , Approval of an override or exclusion question establishes the maximum amount of additional taxing authority available to the community. The spending decisions made /, , ZI/ 6- by the community's appropriating body will determine if any or all of this additional taxing authority may be used. Thus, while the additional dollars are still part of the community's general unrestricted revenues (levy) and are not a separate funding source for the purpose of making appropriations, those dollars are considered "earmarked" because they cannot be raised in the tax levy unless the community appropriates them for the purpose stated in the question. Every city and town shall annually provide an amount of money sufficient for the support of the public schools as required by this chapter, provided however, that no city or town shall be required to provide more money for the support of the public schools than is appropriated by vote of the legislative body of the city or town. In acting on appropriations for educational costs, the city or town appropriating body shalt vote on the total amount of the appropriations requested and shall not allocate appropriations among accounts or place any restriction on such appropriations. The superintendent of schools in any city or town may address the local appropriating authority prior to any action on the school budget as recommended by the school committee notwithstanding his place of residence. The city or town appropriating body may make nonbinding monetary recommendations to increase or decrease certain items allocating such appropriations. The vote of the legislative body of a city or town shall establish the total appropriation for the support of the public schools, but may not limit the authority of the school committee to determine expenditures within the total appropriation.
