Mayor: Next Year the BOE Budget Will Be In Same Form as Town's
With regard to the Board of Education Budget, Section 703 of the Charter provides, in part: The Board of Education shall have the same duties [as the Town] and follow the same form and procedure with respect to its budget...(emphasis added).
This has never been done; the BOE Budget has always been in a different format that contains much less information than the Town-side Budget and has far less transparancy.
This won't happen ever again because at last night's Town Council Meeting, Mayor Pat Murphy announced that -- as the Charter mandates -- next year's BOE Budget will be in the same format as the Town's.
