MBTS Special Town Meeting Warrant & Information

The special town meeting is a critical next step for finalizing the MERSD FY24 budget. The town meeting voters will be asked to support the “Compromise Budget,” which includes both a reduction in staff and the use of reserve funds. This is a short-term measure that allows the District to stabilize and regroup to pursue a long-term solution for FY25 and to better position MERSD to maintain its future financial health and performance.

You can learn more about the budget reductions here and in greater detail on the District’s Finance & Operations page.

I hope you will be able to attend the meeting in your community. As always, please reach out if you have questions or concerns.
