If the schools and town both present a level-funded budget for the next warrant article, we will be in good shape. There's going to be a special meeting for the two schools' teachers' contracts but there won't be a tax impact if those two contracts pass (they'd add up to less than $70K together if they pass - both are just one year contracts). I'm not sure what warrant articles will be on the ballot this next year for the town, but I expect it will be pretty conservative.
The new tax rate will be set in September/October.
