SPS is in the early stages of discussing the next budget, while a number of important factors remain unsettled.
Members of the Sudbury Public School Committee opened their Wednesday night at Noyes Elementary School with the first public hearing regarding the budget for Fiscal Year 2014. Committee Chair Richard Robison said one of the challenges to budget planning is that many factors remain unknown at this time. “There has been quite a bit in the news in the last 24 hours regarding the state budget,” Robison said about a recent forecast that indicates that the Massachusetts legislature will face a 250 million dollar budget shortfall in just the first quarter of the new year. “And we don’t even have to talk about the federal government,” Robison said, regarding the ongoing dispute in Congress over the fiscal cliff of tax hikes and automatic spending …

Resident Scott Nassa cited the No Confidence vote against Anne Wilson from earlier this.
The Sudbury Public Schools Committee faced an intense line of questioning at its Wednesday night meeting at Loring Elementary School from resident Scott Nassa, a frequent critic of the Committee, in regards to a recent decision at a previous meeting to extend Superintendent Anne Wilson's contract and offer her a 3 percent raise.

"Have you ever seen a petition of No Confidence before?" Nassa inquired of Chair Richard Robison, who has been a member of the School …

The Sudbury Public Schools Committee accepted a previously negotiated teacher contract that will cover the next three years at its Tuesday night meeting at the Sudbury Senior Center. The contract grants Sudbury's teachers raises of 3 percent in 2013, 2.5 percent in 2014 and 2 percent in 2015. The public forum section of the meeting featured some commentary from veteran teacher Mary Hawes Mahoney about the contract. "People are voting with their feet on this contract," said Mahoney, mentioning 23 teachers who recently left Curtis Middle School for districts she said offer more in salary and charge less for health insurance. "It's getting harder and harder for Sudbury to keep the best people. I think if we want to keep the best people, we …
