At our next PTC meeting, we will hear an update on the work of the Superintendent's Finance Committee, as well as a preview of the district's next financial steps. Superintendent Dr. Emily Tammaru will be presenting at our meeting along with one of the residents who are serving as the committee's co-facilitators, Mike Lullo or Steve Neurauter.
We encourage you to attend the meeting and hear more about this important work. The Finance Committee studied the district's financial history, issues, and options; that work will be summarized at the PTC meeting. After $3 million in cuts over the last decade and with deficits expected for at least the next four years, the district is in a position where decisions must be made about how to operate moving forward. The presentation will also cover about the committee's recommendation that the Board of Education engage in a larger community conversation about whether to begin identifying programming cuts, or increase revenue through a referendum.
