April 13, 2025 - 15:46
“We can’t predict how the voters are going to vote,” said Walter O’Connor, chair of the New Milford finance board, following the recent decision to cut the budget plan for the upcoming fiscal year. The board has approved a reduction of $1.6 million from the school budget and $300,000 from the town’s overall budget.
This decision comes amid ongoing discussions about financial constraints and the need to balance the town’s fiscal responsibilities with the demands of its residents. The cuts are expected to impact various programs within the school district, raising concerns among educators and parents about the quality of education.
O’Connor emphasized the importance of making prudent financial decisions, stating that the board must carefully assess the community's needs while ensuring fiscal stability. The budget proposal will now move forward for voter approval, with the board hopeful that residents will understand the necessity of these adjustments in light of the current economic climate.
