RISD board sets 2023 budget

ORFORD—At a special meeting held on Feb. 10, the Rivendell Interstate School District Board voted to approve a proposed operating budget for 2022-2023 of just over $13,316,000 for the four-town district.
This budget exceeds the current year’s by about $600,000.
Complicating the discussion that evening was how best to present the influx of federal funding known as ESSER so that constituents can understand the difference between the operating budget versus one-time spending related to the impacts of the pandemic.
