Superintendent of Schools Mary Conway on Wednesday night presented a $51.88 million 2013-14 budget proposal to the Board of Education.
The bottom line of $51,885,043 represents an increase of $3,704,046 - or 7.69 percent - over this year's budget of $48,180,997.
The School board is scheduled to begin deliberating over the numbers on Jan. 16.
Look for a further breakdown of the budget on Thursday morning's Vernon Patch.
