Jeffrey Day sworn in as moderator at MSAD 60 FY27 budget hearing

Jeffrey Day was nominated from the floor and elected moderator at the MSAD 60 fiscal year 2027 budget hearing on May 7. After being nominated, Day took an oath to ‘‘faithfully and impartially perform all duties’’ as moderator of the budget meeting and described the process for public participation and voting: registered voters should state their names at the microphone, use paper ballots or raise cards, and keep cards raised while town clerks record counts.

Day said the meeting would follow the two‑thirds rule for ending debate (calling the question) and explained procedures for handling challenges to vote results, physical counts and returning to discussion after an amendment vote. He also noted that business manager Denise Van Campen, assistant superintendent Susan Austin and consultant Greg Mann were present to answer line‑item questions. The moderator then led the assembly into an article‑by‑article review of the proposed FY27 budget.
