See the proposed FY19 budget, which the school committee will consider at a public hearing on Monday.
MEDFORD, MA – Medford Public Schools recently released the proposed school budget for FY 2019. The proposed budget is $58,608,630, which is about $2.1 million higher than the previous fiscal year. It will be supplemented by a little over $2 million in operating revenue and state and federal grants, bringing the total budget to $60,629,011, or a 3.65 percent increase, according to school officials.
Included in the budget is over $240,000 in increased security spending, a substantial portion of which administrators hope will be covered by rental income. Additional funding will be provided for camera repairs and replacement.
