Brewer begins new school budget process
Bangor Daily News, October 12, 2007
(excerpt) "This year, we have a new budget process," Superintendent Daniel Lee told the Brewer school board on Wednesday. "It’s going to be a little different than what you have done in the past."
Basically, the new budget process works like this: School boards across the state will vote on 11 budget categories — special education, regular education, career and technical education, other instruction such as summer school, personnel, school administrative costs, system administrative costs, facilities and maintenance, transportation, debt service and all other expenditures.
After the school boards review, update and then approve those budget items, the figures are to be presented to the municipal leaders in each of the member communities of that school system. Then the proposal will go out to a public vote.
In Brewer, the City Council will review and give approval of the figures.
"Within 10 days of the City Council approval, all residents will go to the polls," Lee said. "Voters will come to the polls and vote for [the entire budget] straight up or straight down.
