📰 News we're reading
• Budget uncertainty looms for Lynnfield Schools (itemlive.com) — Lynnfield school leaders are warning that a proposed 3.7% budget increase may not be enough to maintain current services, after they initially sought 4.9% and now feel they can negotiate down to 4.3%. With most costs tied to salaries and special education, officials say the accelerated budget timeline and recent override history leave the district in unfamiliar territory as they weigh new positions and potential savings.
