Staples Students Planning Rally

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

p50401392Staples students planning rally on steps of Town Hall today to protest budget cuts.  Staples Players planning on singing at steps of Town Hall. The rally is to begin at 5:00 and the RTM meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:30.

On 4/28, there was an important meeting held by the RTM Finance Committee to discuss the BOE budgets for 2009-10.  The first part of the mtg was a unanimous acceptance of the Town Budget, followed by a proposal from the Chair of the RTM Finance Committee, to recommend to the full RTM to cut an additional $1 million (beyond the $1.4 million already cut by the BOF in April) from the BOE budget.  

This Tuesday May 5th, the full RTM will vote on whether to accept the BOE budget as is.  The budget they will vote on already included the $1.4 million cut by the BOF.  

This cut has yet to be detailed by the BOE in the line items.  We have no idea how the BOF $1.4 million cut will affect the students. The budget has very little flexibility for Staples High School.
