Hi Laura,
I think you and Beth spoke but yes, we will have some information available at TM for voters. Hopefully the information we provide will clarify what we
have spent and why.
Have a great weekend,
Jeff

Hi there!
Hope all is well.
At last night’s Select Board meeting the question of WHRSD budget advocacy was raised.
I’m reaching out to see if there are any plans to have information about the WHRSD budget available at our upcoming Special Town Meeting.
One of our challenges this year seems to be the narrative around the use of the one time ESSR money to add positions. I was hoping that an
informational piece could be provided that breaks down how those funds were used and a explanation that many of the positions were required by law
and/or were necessary as a result of Covid.
I firmly believe that if folks are provided with the facts, they can make an educated decision about the WHRSD budget at the Special Town Meeting.
I’m also hoping that there will be a WHRSD and School Committee presence at this meeting to answer related questions.
Hope that all makes sense.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at (781) 640-3258 if you would like to discuss this further.
Warmest Regards,
Laura FitzGerald-Kemmett
