Budget Advisory Group Meeting - September 29, 2026

The Budget Advisory Group met on September 29, 2026, to discuss the scope and structure of efficiency reviews across municipal and school operations, focusing heavily on the draft Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Dartmouth Public Schools. Committee members and school officials reviewed feedback on the initial draft, agreeing that the tone needed to be neutralized and the scope clarified so that the school district is not singled out unfairly. Participants emphasized the need to consolidate town and school financial data into a centralized, accessible location for residents and to balance backwards-looking historical data with forward-looking projections regarding 40B housing development, student enrollment, and infrastructure needs.
