- Meeting Overview:
The Revere School Committee convened on June 3rd, 2024, to finalize and approve the proposed fiscal year 2024-2025 school operating budget of $126 million. The meeting lacked public attendance, both in-person and on Zoom, but the committee proceeded with the budget hearing process. The approved budget reflects an increase from the previous year, with specific investments in middle school staffing, special education services, English learner programs, early childhood education, and the addition of portable classrooms to address overcrowding at Revere High School.
During the meeting, the Superintendent expressed strong support for the budget, highlighting the responsible approach in addressing inflation and new costs, while accommodating staff previously funded by now-expired grants. Emphasis was placed on the significant investment in the McKinley building for early childhood education, including the hiring of a director for the program. Additionally, the superintendent underscored the need to manage overcrowding at the high school, through the leasing of portable classrooms.
The Chair of the Ways and Means Subcommittee conveyed gratitude to the CFO and staff for their efforts in preparing the budget.
The Committee conducted a roll call vote on the budget in series, covering administration, instructional services, student services, plant operation and maintenance, employee benefits and insurance, building improvements, and programs with other schools.
