More up to date 2006 and 2007 Numbers |

This information is from a request submitted to the school system. We wanted to know how town-side numbers were allocated for the schools. The town's annual report and the school committee's budget both try to obfuscate the amount the schools actually spend. I then added the amount received from Title I Federal grants not shown in the school budget. |
