Public hearing set for Salisbury budget

SALISBURY — The Board of Finance will hold a public hearing on the 2025-26 budget proposals from the Board of Education and the Board of Selectmen on Monday, April 21, 7:30 p.m.

At the finance board’s March 27 meeting, Salisbury Central School principal Stephanie Magyar said the proposal had been trimmed a bit thanks to some savings on health insurance costs, and that a couple of teacher-requested items had been added back in, for a total reduction of $3,893.

First Selectman Curtis Rand said there were no changes in the selectmen’s budget proposal. “I think we can bring this to the public.”

The Board of Education’s proposal is for $6,897,148, a 5.53% increase of $361,209.

The Board of Selectmen’s proposal is for $9,205,120, an increase of $585,530, or 6.7%.
