📰 News we're reading
• Budget uncertainty looms for schools (lynnfieldweeklynews.com) — Lynnfield school officials are warning that a reduced FY27 budget increase could affect services, as the Select Board trims their requested hike from 4.9% to 3.7%. With most costs tied to salaries and special education, the School Budget Subcommittee is cautiously negotiating down to a 4.3% increase while navigating an accelerated budget timeline and lingering uncertainty after last year’s override.
