The four-member BET Budget Committee is currently split on how much to spend on the new school; the question became divisive Tuesday morning after new design information was provided to the CMS Building Committee. The architect on the project said a new school would need to be about 20,000 square feet larger than first estimated to accommodate the number of students the Board of Education wants to place there. Wednesday was the second day of the Budget Committee’s “consolidation day” where the four members discussed potential adjustments to the $480.9 million budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2023-24. The committee will bring its revisions to the full BET, which will vote on April 4. The BET will also hold a public hearing on March 29 to gather input from residents.
