Bristol Aggie funding slashed.

The county has voted to reduce their contribution to Bristol Agricultural High by $1.78 million citing budgetary restraints. This amount represents a 44% reduction in the contribution by the county. I received a letter from the school stating that they are allowed to make up the difference by increasing the tuition to both in and out of district students. This may mean in increase in Dartmouth's contribution to the school.
Part of the funding provided by the town shows ...

... up as charges against our state aid on the so called cherry sheet. The Town Meeting also appropriates $12,000 for the school each year in Schedule A. I believe it is this Schedule A charge that would be increased. Whether added to charges against state aid or assessed against the General Fund, this represents an added cost to our taxpayers.
The total amount that the school needs to raise from in district students is $980,000 according to the information provided to the County Advisory Board. The amount of the increase to Dartmouth will be determined by the number of students we have attending. I have not been able to find that information as yet.
