In Conclusion… If we do not invest in the public schools Our students will fall behind their peers We will continue to see more students choice out We will lose students to the charter school in Sturbridge We will drop even lower in the state rankings of public schools We will not attract school choice in students _________________________________________________ We are asking you to approve the school budget of $6,064,778.95
