Ripton School Board News

On Monday, February 23, the Ripton School Board voted to present an amendment for Town Meeting on March 2 which would reduce the warned budget by $20,000.  This would bring our budget from $827,279 (which represented a 1.79% increase over last year's budget) down to $807,279 (which represents a .67% reduction from last year).  We took this action because our principal search, though not complete, has yielded 3 candidates all of whom are willing to accept a 60% position.
