Ridgefield Board of Ed adopts proposed budget

The Ridgefield Board of Education has approved a budget proposal for the coming fiscal year.  The $107.2 million plan is a 4.79 percent increase over the current year.  Nearly 80 percent of the budget is for salaries and employee benefits.  Some minor adjustments were made ahead of the vote at their meeting last week, including a decrease in the athletic equipment line and reductions to both insurance liability and workman’s compensation costs.  There is a 19 percent increase in special education outplacement and tuition costs based on the district’s growing population of students with special needs.
