You can do something!
Wednesday's meeting was rather interesting. The Public Hearing seemed to have more of a Pep Rally feeling to it, with many from Raynham stating their desire to fund education to an even greater level that the proposed $48.2M School Budget. During the B-R School Committee Meeting, the budget was increased to $50M. (Why not to $60M?)
I have assembled a multi-year analysis of B-R School Budgets, however it only reflect the detail to $48.2M for the upcoming year -- the rest of the details have not been published in entirety. Keep in mind, even with this greater detail, there is no mention of actual SPENT in any category. B-R School District has never published that information at their meetings. To prove that I am not asking for the unrealistic, take a look at either Bridgewater or Raynham Town Annual Reports, and for each line item you can see what was budgeted and how much was actually spent. This information would be very useful in determining the "reasonableness" of their numbers.

I have the following attached worksheet that summarizes the proposed budget (click here to download).
