To the East Bridgewater School Community,

 

Last night at the Annual School Budget Hearing the members of the East Bridgewater School Committee voted unanimously to certify a school budget of $17,124,719 for the 2013-2014 school year.  This budget includes an increase over the current year’s school budget of $760,826.  In order for this budget to be implemented next year, it must be voted on and approved by the citizens of the town at the June 3, 2013 Annual Town Meeting.

 

The links below will provide you with all of the information referred to during last night’s budget hearing.  These links can also be found on the school district website (www.ebps.net).  If you have any questions about the school budget, or would like to see any information that is not found on the links below, please contact me at 508-378-5956.

 

Sincerely,

 

Susan T. Cote, Ed.D.

Superintendent
