    RTM Education Committee Budget Report FY 2020-21: Submitted June 5, 2020 Your Education Committee met to vote on Item 3: the FY 2020-21 Budget on Monday, June 1, 2020. The Education Committee considers and votes on operating and capital budgets for the Board of Education, the Libraries, the Bruce Museum and parts of the Departments of Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Health as they relate to the schools. We also consider the school lunch revolving fund, budget resolutions related to the schools and libraries, and the borrowing authorization for capital projects, including those related to the BOE. As in prior years, our coverage of the budget began in November as the Superintendent presented her proposed budget to the Board of Education. During our December, January, March, May and June meetings we heard presentations and updates from the BOE on the status of their budget. At our May meeting we had budget presentations from Greenwich Library and The Bruce Museum. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we gave departments the option of submitting budget information via email. The Perrot Library, DPW, Parks and Rec, and Department of Health (special clinical/hygienists) all submitted budget information to us via email. Members of our committee took on liaison roles with individual schools, the libraries, and The Bruce. Each liaison met with the school building or department leaders to prepare a more in-depth report on their budgets. These are appended at the end of this report. Please realize that most interviews were completed before the BET’s budget was finalized, and the information contained in them may have changed.
