School board approves superintendent's entire budget proposal

By Bill Bittar | 8 hours ago

MONROE, CT — Nick Kapoor, a school board member, says the board’s charge is to pass a budget that fully funds education, so during Tuesday’s meeting he motioned to approve Superintendent of Schools Joseph Kobza’s budget proposal as is, with the 5.85 percent spending increase intact. The majority of the Board of Education agreed, and approved the $61.9 million budget by a vote of 7 to 2, moving it to First Selectman Ken Kellogg’s desk. “As a newish homeowner, I feel the property tax burden now, very much so,” Kapoor said. “But I’m still going to vote for this budget tonight, because at the end of our process is a great thing in our referendum, and if the people don’t like it, they can tell us no. And they should be able to have the opportunity to vote on a full budget.
