So, all of our revenue sources, our local tax levy, as you can see, is 54% of our budget. Um, tuition and miscellaneous is about 1% of our budget. That includes student activity and interest. That was something we had to do a few years ago. Student activity accounts are not fed through our accounting system, but we still have to report them as revenue. That's a wash. It's going in, it's coming out. So, that's not money that we don't make money on that. We don't run it through any budget.

So uh good evening everyone. Good evening Dr. Zero, Miss Mercy, board members, parents, teachers, students and visitors. So in every classroom we see many different personalities. Some student are loud and playful. Some are full of energy and some get upset over small things. But there's always one student who stay quiet all the time, kind and very steady. Today I would like to recognize one of those student. We lovingly call him Ray Ray, but his real name is Antonio Ronaldo Vega. Raring may be quiet, but he has a big heart. Even when others are moving around, playing or getting distracted, he stay in his seat and follow expectations. He does the right thing even when no one reminds him. He is kind to his classmate. Instead of taking toys, he gives away. Instead of arguing, he comely walks away and finds something else to do. That's Ray Ray.

Um they've studied it a lot. We've met with them and talked to them and actually they had what I think are some creative uh creative ideas and solutions. Um ultimately that helps because if you look at number of days from start to finish you know granted that's dependent upon weather and things going as they should 70 days whereas you look at the three others and you 75, 250 or 305. So that's obviously a lot of the difference in the cost, right? Um >> it's a lot of labor. >> Yep. A lot of labor. Um but the same materials.

There's no like sometimes we're not there's no moving on. I know, but I' How is larger than normal turnout this evening. I wish we had like this every special town meeting. So you're all welcome invited back in November. The date hasn't been decided yet for the first Wednesday of every successive year. We do have overflow space available, but using that space presents logistical challenges both in running the meeting and those in the overflow space that they won't be able to experience the meeting in the same way as those sitting here in the audience. To that end, I'm not going to open the overflow space for voters unless or until we exceed 550 voters and we're quite a ways away from that. Since the capacity of the auditorium is 575, no one will have to share a seat. That said, maybe make a new friend and let folks know if there's an empty seat next to you.

That's in and out. Um, state aid is 41% of our budget. That actually includes the preschool expansion aid in there. Um, semi- aid is Medicare. So, we have to do quarterly semi-reports um in which we have to report um not just tuitions for students, but it's really your reporting um if they have onetoone nurses or they have uh related services, things like that. And then we get a percentage of reimbursement. So, the state says this is how much based on your students, this is how much you can make in that. our goal is to make that or exceed it. Um, so that is the base revenue amount that we have to put in there. Uh, surplus, that's not correct there. Um, surplus, we don't have any surplus. What we have is that $300,000 that I'm saying at the end of this year, I anticipate having $300,000 or more, hopefully a little more that I'm going to roll over into next year to help fund that budget.

So we are some areas that will have to be cut out and patched back before he goes over the top. Um but what we are re recommending we accept um the base bid which was that 1 million 291,241. We're choosing to reject alternate number one which is a standing seal system on only um we are obviously accepting alternate two there's no additional cost that's included in the base bid. Um alternate number three there was no bid reject that alternate number four that comes down just potentially a 10,000 deduct based on the tbo material system we're using. decide on that one. That might be something we we take. Um that's just a difference in material versus what we spec versus additional option they provided to us. Um so potentially $10,000 savings off that 1.2 number. Um voluntary alternative number one. Um we're choosing to accept that and that's a deduct of $430,678.

For everyone's safety, please do not stand or sit in the aisles or on the sides of the auditorium unless you are on your way to or from your seat or an onduty first responder. If you are in the cafeteria right now, you can't vote from there. Some of you may remember that I took a few moments before beginning last year's annual town meeting to remind you what town meeting was all about. My awards were based on the Mass Moderator Association two-year town meeting spark of a revolution initiative celebrating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution which coincides with the defining events of 1775 and 1776 culminating the Declaration of Independence which is read aloud in every town. Tonight I'd like to share with you a second installment. Massachusetts town meetings were a foundational influence on the Declaration of Independence, serving as the primary schools of liberty and a practical mechanism for building the political consensus required to separate from the tyrannical crown.

So, thank you. [applause] We would also like to recognize our school nurses and there's our proclamation for 2026 for our school nurses day. Whereas through their skill and expertise, our nation's school nurses help to foster a healthy nurturing community in which our children can learn and grow. And whereas most often school nurses are the first and sometimes the only line of defense against the illnesses and conditions of our students face, making their contribution to the education and welfare of the student population invaluable. And whereas the nature of their profession calls on their ability to take on the roles beyond that of health of a health provider, acting as teacher, confidant, mentor, and friend to the students of Connecticut. And whereas today's society represents students with an overwhelming number of physical, social, and mental ills, and school nurses have become an essential component of effective health programs both in and out of the classroom.
