Editor’s note: Killington’s town budget
cycle this year lasted 18 months as the town transitioned from a
calendar to a fiscal year budget cycle. The reason for the large
decrease between this year’s town spending and next year’s proposed
spending is in large part because the town returns to a 12-month cycle
next year.
Town/highway budget
Proposed $4,155,339; $2,127,215, or 33.86 percent less than this year’s budget of $6,282,554.
School budget
Proposed total budget of $1,682,707, an increase of $57,599, or 3.54 percent, from this year’s $1,625,108.
This budget represents a cost of $15,577 per equalized pupil, $1,626, or 9.5 percent, less than this year’s $17,203 cost per pupil.
Special articles
Shall the voters authorize the Select Board to borrow $200,000 to fund the reconstruction of the library roof?
Shall the voters approve expenditures of $400 to fund the nonprofit Child First Advocacy Center which supports the discovery, intervention, treatment and prevention of child abuse?
Contested races
Jim Haff will challenge incumbent Patty McGrath for a three-year seat on the Select Board.
Meeting location
Killington residents will gather to elect school officials and vote on school district money matters from the floor at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 29 at the Killington Elementary School. An informational hearing regarding the town matters will follow, also at KES, at 7 p.m. Voting on town money matters and the election of town officials will take place by Australian ballot from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. March 1 at the Killington Town Office.
