Fellow Residents of Charlestown,
We have a couple important things on the calendar this
week:
·
The public hearing on Charlestown's proposed budget
will be on Monday, May 2.
·
Another vote on an amended Chariho Schools budget will
be held on Thursday, May 5.
The budget hearing will be at our town hall starting
at 7 pm on Monday, May 2. The budget to be discussed can be seen here.
The first vote for the Chariho School budget, on April
5, failed to pass. Charlestown voted in favor, but not by enough to
offset the rejection votes in Richmond and Hopkinton. Charlestown had
the lowest voter turnout, by far, of the three towns.
Town

Charlestown 286 133

The School Committee reduced the proposed budget and
it goes up for vote again on May 5.

pm On Thursday, May 5, at the Charlestown Town Hall, 4540 South
