The vote on the Region 1 Education budget is today from noon to 8pm at Kent Town Hall.  The district is making changes to the high school to make the campus more secure. Unexpended funds from the current year's budget will be used to address these improvements.  The proposed budget does not include funding for an armed security officer.  The Board will continue to study the need for a security officer.  The proposed budget does not include any funding for the implementation of a new middle school sports program.  It was decided that additional time is needed to investigate and study the issue further.  A broad based district-wide committee will be formed to study a comprehensive K-12 athletic program.
