Ridgefield Board of Ed scales back budget proposal

The Ridgefield Board of Education has scaled back its budget proposal to comply with a reduced budget approved by the Ridgefield Board of Finance.  The $86 million proposal was lowered Monday by $400,000 and represents a .98 percent increase in spending over the current fiscal year. 

 

The Ridgefield Press reports that cuts were made by reducing the curriculum and instruction budget, the hardware and software technology line item, and some maintenance projects.  Projected energy savings and staff turnover savings were increased.  New staffing requests were reduced and some supplies and materials accounts were also reduced. 

 

The only change from the recommendations was a $25,000 reduction to the curriculum and instruction budget for planning to improve the STEM program was replaced with a $25,000 increase to the projected staff turnover savings.
