An Invitation from the School Committee

Dear Parents, CBRSD Employees, and Community Members:
    The School Committee invites you to become actively involved in the school budget process once again.  We are currently building our budget for the next school year, and may be faced with another difficult budget due to decreased revenue from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
    Your comments, suggestions and questions are always welcomed and appreciated.  We urge you to become involved now, before we reach our final numbers.  You can make a difference!  Most of the discussions around our budget occur at Finance Subcommittee meetings.  Citizens may comment, and dialog takes place at intervals throughout Finance Subcommittee meetings.  You may find dates for these and other School Committee meetings on this web page.  Finance Subcommittee meetings will be added as needed, so check the site for updates.
    Thank you for your continued support of our school district.
