Dear Parents, Guardians, Caregivers and Community Members:
At last night’s School Committee meeting, the Holliston School Committee approved its Fiscal Year 2025 budget request. Holliston Public Schools is approaching a difficult budget year. While the Holliston School Committee's recommended budget may still change prior to the May 13th, 2024 Annual Town Meeting, Holliston Public Schools is likely to require significant cost reductions. The Holliston School Committee is committed to seeking measures to limit the impact on student learning and will keep the community updated as the budget process evolves. For details, please review our budget presentation from the Holliston School Committee's March 27 meeting attached, as well as a link to the video of the budget presentation from last night.
The Holliston School Committee will be holding its statutory budget hearing next week at our regularly scheduled meeting on April 4th, 2024 at 7PM in the Holliston High School Library.
Additionally, tonight (3/28), members of the School Committee will be holding office hours on Zoom at 7PM (Link). This is open to anyone interested.
Sincerely,
Daniel Alfred
Chair, Holliston School Committee
