Overview: The Lunenburg Select Board meeting was dominated by pressing financial challenges, particularly a $2 million shortfall in the school budget, which has necessitated the layoff of 38 school employees. This gap represents 8% of the total school budget and affects 9% of the permanent school staff. The financial strain is largely due to rising costs such as health insurance and transportation, which exceed the limits set by Proposition 2½ and are beyond the town’s control. This budgetary crisis has led to tensions between various town departments, each competing for limited funding.
