All meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Schettini Library at Reading Memorial High School.  We encourage all members of the community to participate in this budget process and to attend the budget meetings.  This year, we have made a conscious decision not to have specific budget liaisons assigned to the budget process.  This decision is not based on the participation level of the dedicated budget liaisons that we have had over the years; rather the number of budget liaisons over the years has decreased.  We will continue to update the community on a regular basis through our newsletters and blogs what transpires during each School Committee budget meeting and subsequent meetings throughout the winter/spring.

If you have any questions about the budget, please do not hesitate to contact Superintendent of Schools John Doherty at john.doherty@reading.k12.ma.us .
