Superintendent Holly Hageman presents Marlborough's proposed FY2026-27 operating and capital budgets

Superintendent Dr. Holly Hageman presented the Marlborough Public Schools' proposed FY2026-27 operating and capital budgets during the Jan. 22 Board of Education meeting. Hageman said all budget documents will be posted on the MES website under the Budget tab after the presentation and that the board will continue review at the next regular meeting on Jan. 29.

The presentation outlined both operating and capital requests; the transcript does not specify dollar amounts. Board members were reminded to submit questions about the proposal to Dr. Hageman by Tuesday, Jan. 27, ahead of the Jan. 29 review. The board also noted it will present the BOE budget to the Board of Finance at a public meeting scheduled for Feb. 9 at Town Hall.

The budget discussion in this session was informational: no formal motion to adopt the FY2026-27 budget was recorded at the Jan. 22 meeting. The board's next procedural step is continued review at its Jan. 29 meeting, where members may request additional detail or move toward adoption.
