Residents vote on the town and the school budget proposals separately at a referendum on May 3.

Town Budget: $16,351,381, a 4.45 percent increase over the current budget of $15,654,734

School Budget: $30,994,803, a 4.03 percent increase over the current budget of $29,794,803

The budget proposal also includes $175,000 for contingency costs, $50,000 for a senior citizen tax freeze and $100,000 for the capital reserve fund — a newly budgeted item.

The Board of Education will host a separate budget forum at the Seymour Middle School at 7 p.m. on April 16. The forum will explain the school budget proposal to voters, and give them a chance to ask Board of Education members questions about the proposal.
