At $9,999,327, the proposed Enosburg Falls Graded School District budget for the coming school year is up four percent from the current year.

Most increases in the elementary school budget — up $104,290 overall — are in health insurance and special education teacher and paraeducator salaries, with an array of part- and full-time teaching, coaching and support services positions being added or increased.

Per pupil spending is up just $353 per pupil in the proposed budget.

At the high school level, special education costs are anticipated to drop some $36,000. Wages and health insurance across many departments again make up the lion's share of the overall $236,860 increase at the middle and high school.

An increase of $40,521 in instructional salaries at Cold Hollow Career Center is partially offset by a $26,616 salary decrease in adult education. Administration health insurance costs are also dropping some $10,690.

An informational meeting is set for Thursday, March 15 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Voting takes place Tuesday, March 20 at 7 p.m.
