$15M budget approved at school meeting

NORTH HAVERHILL–Approximately 50 people approved a $15.3 million budget for 2022-2023 during the annual school district meeting on March 12.
Some 200 people had gathered at the Haverhill Cooperative Middle School gymnasium that started at 9 a.m. But after more than three hours of debate and discussion on town business and a brief recess, there was a noticeable dip in attendance.
The disparity drew criticism.
