Littleton School Committee approves $26.5 million FY27 budget after $600K reduction request. The revised budget represents a 0.48 percent increase over the current year and maintains staff and programs through $600,000 in revolving fund transfers and anticipated savings, though the Committee identified this as a one-year strategy requiring revenue changes for FY28. In a unanimous vote, the Committee appointed Raina Sturtz to the superintendent search screening committee, advancing the search with an application brochure distribution set for February 2.
Clinical services staff reported 17 care placements and 36 warm handoffs this year, with the 2024 Youth Risk Behavior Survey showing overall improvement in mental health since 2022.
