Better Manage School Budget 

  • The school budget is not Council’s only focus. Applying 78% of every tax dollar it should be a major one.
  • Committed to great education, I shared with Council three drivers for Falmouth’s $2000 more per student spend per year than our neighbors. No questions were asked.
  • Last year I recommended that budgeting start earlier. Done.
  • Next: a more robust budget process?
  • I am not advocating budget cuts. 
  • There are questions to be raised.
  • This leads to a better understanding.
  • Which produces improved decision-making.
