Overview: The recent Plymouth-Canton Community School Board meeting focused heavily on the financial challenges facing the district, as well as impassioned community discussions about inclusivity and diversity in schools. The board reviewed a proposed budget that anticipates a $34.5 million funding gap for the upcoming academic year, in the context of declining enrollment and state aid uncertainties. The meeting also served as a platform for community members to express strong support for policies promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, particularly in light of recent disruptions by non-resident agitators.
