Scituate
A revised Scituate school budget for 2008-09 shows cuts at every
grade level and in most departments.
But Superintendent Mark Mason said the proposed budget would
allow the schools to maintain staffing as well as all services and
initiatives put in place after last year's tax-limit override.
Mason presented the revised budget to school committee members
Tuesday after whittling it down by $100,000.
On Jan. 12, committee members said Mason's first proposal, which
called for a 4.7 percent increase, was too high in light of the
sharp decrease in funding expected from the town.
