2025 Salary Accounts
This budget is built without the full knowledge of contractual salary increases for 2025. The 2025
contracts of all bargaining units are not settled. Should the district fail to negotiate contracts that fit
into the budget / assessments voted and approved by the member towns, the committee will have
to find ways to fund the contracts without changing the budget bottom line or member town
assessments. The chart below is a summary of the district’s staffing plan for FY25.
