Town officials aren’t ready voice any concrete opinions on Wareham Public Schools’ 2015-16 budget request just yet.

Last week, Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Shaver-Hood and district Business Manager Michael MacMillan presented an initial budget proposal to the School Committee. That requested an additional $963,331 more for 2015-16 than for this current school year.

On Wednesday, they presented the same budget at a joint meeting of what was intended to include the School Committee, the Board of Selectmen, Town Administrator Derek Sullivan, and the Finance Committee, though no member of the Finance Committee was present.

After hearing the presentation — which similarly to the initial presentation cited the increasing cost of providing special education and other factors as reasons for the 3.58 percent increase — several members of the Board of Selectmen as well as Sullivan declined to dive into specifics.

“(There is) no way for anyone to look at this document and make any kind of comment on it,” said Selectmen Chair Alan Slavin, referring to the 56-page packet handed out at the meeting.

Sullivan, who ultimately must approve the budget before it can be voted on at Town Meeting in April, declined to comment. Slavin’s comments echoed that of several members of his board.

“There’s a very large amount of info here, but I would be a fool to comment on it without having looked at it,” said Selectman Judith Whiteside.

Other reasons school officials cited for the bump from $26,879,655 to $27,842,986 include increases in settled employment contracts, the addition of three full-time employees, and an ongoing need for instructional programs, supplies and materials.

The presentation said that the cost of providing special education to students has increased approximately $365,000. They also projected that providing additional staffing would cost $130,000, and employee contracts made for an increase of $630,000 over the 2014-15 school year.

Shaver-Hood assured those present that the administrators have left no stone unturned in the budget process while trying to provide the best education possible to Wareham’s students.

“We continue to look at and examine our practices,” she said. “We just continue to review and review and review.”

The School Committee will vote on the budget as presented by Shaver-Hood at their next meeting on January 28.
