BOE to host two meetings on budget cuts

AVON, April 16 – The Avon Board of Education will hold two more additional meetings to decide what to cut from its proposed 2010-11 budget. The Board of Finance cut $1.05 million from the BOE’s original request of $46.9 million. The current BOE proposal of $45.9 million is a 4.5 percent increase from last year’s budget.

The BOE will hold special meetings on April 27 and May 4 to discuss possible spending cuts and encourages residents to provide suggestions to the BOE.

The current BOE proposal is part of the $72.87 million budget that town voters will vote on at the annual budget referendum on May 12.
