Milton Schools Receive $60,452 Boost via Supplemental State Aid

Key Points

  • The $60,452 appropriation comes from supplemental Chapter 70 state aid.
  • Funds will be used to bolster the school department's current fiscal year budget.
  • The measure passed unanimously by voice vote.

Town Meeting members voted to supplement the current fiscal year school budget using additional funds provided by the Commonwealth. Article 8 authorized the appropriation of $60,452 in Chapter 70 state aid.

These funds represent supplemental aid received after the initial budget was set and are earmarked specifically for the support of the public schools. The appropriation was moved by C. McCarthy on behalf of the Warrant Committee and passed quickly via a voice vote, providing a minor but welcome infusion of cash into the FY2000 operating budget.
