The Gateway Regional School District will be attempting to create a budget for Fiscal Year 2009 (the 2008-2009 school year) that meets basic requirements while minimizing increases in town assessments. This is only potentially possible this year due to several retirements throughout the district which, coupled with declining enrollments, makes it possible to reduce overall staffing in the district. The target that the administration is aiming for is roughly a 2.55% increase in the budget, which should translate to roughly a 4% average increase in town assessments. As information is provided to the school committee it will also be posted on this page. Please check back regularly and consider attending our school committee meetings.

The School Committee adopted Version 1.0 of the budget with the assessments reflecting the March 1st census numbers for students attending schools in the district on March 12th.
