Board meetings always begin with a public comment opportunity. Public comments can be made whether you attend in-person or virtually.
Please note that Superintendent Bonesteel's bi-weekly 'Superintendent Report' to the Board indicates that the new approach to school funding in Vermont will have a significant impact on our district's budget allowance: "MRPS will be losing equalized pupils because of the new weights and it will impact our budget significantly. Christina [MRPS Business Manager] and I plan on sharing how this models out for us at the November 1st board meeting. This will be a year when some hard decisions will have to be made." We will keep the community apprised on how this is shaking out. Here is a link to Superintendent Bonesteel's report:
