WCMUUSC School budget vote

I just looked at the ballots for town meeting day, especially those regarding the budget for the Windsor Central Modified Unified Union School District. I have been advised by our representative to the WCMUUSC, Jim Haff that we should be voting “NO” on the budget proposals, of which there are two, one( Article 3)  if Barnard is accepted into the district via the vote on Article 2, and the other (Article 4), if  Barnard is not voted in. Both budget proposals should be voted down as they are based on incomplete information as the 2019 audit of the district’s books has not been completed and unconfirmed assumptions were used to prepare the budget. Haff strongly speculates that the district is in a deficit situation which was not factored into the budget(s).

This is not to say Barnard should not be accepted into the district as their acceptance increases our student count and keeps our taxes lower. Please Vote “YES” on Article 2.
