“I would be remiss if I did not advise the board and the council about my concerns for future budgets. …I am never just focused on the budget in front of me and always keep a watchful eye anticipating issues with future budget cycles. While we stand ready to implement these difficult reductions, I would not be doing my job if I did not identify the ramifications of cutting so many staff members at one time.” “My fear is that if we are overly aggressive and achieve all of these efficiencies in a single budget cycle we are setting ourselves up for a very difficult budget season next year and for subsequent years .” “…we are significantly diminishing the board’s ability to be a part of the solution next year should one be needed .” Superintendent’s Public Remarks, April 2017 9
“There may be wisdom in considering to defer the second tier reductions until next year. What if we over respond to the governor’s proposed cuts now only to learn that the ultimate decision by the state will be to impose the reductions in state aid over time? We may regret exhausting our BOE offsets in just one year while other towns take a more measured and gradual approach in order to avoid volatility. Town leaders and taxpayers don’t like surprises or spikes in spending or tax increases. For this reason, I think a more measured approach should be considered.” Superintendent’s Public Remarks, April 2017 10
