School Board Botched Budget Warning | Montpelier News

Published 2 hours ago
Description

Vermont’s Barre Unified School Board is scrambling after accidentally re-warning voters about a school budget they’ve already rejected twice—this time with the exact same $57.4 million figure, despite plans to cut $350,000. The board chair called it an “honest mistake,” admitting the error has damaged public trust and delayed critical progress. Officials are rushing to fix the mess by approving a corrected version today that reflects the lower total and adjusted per-pupil spending, hoping to finally win voter approval and stabilize the district’s finances.
