Welcome to the Manchester Essex Regional Schools Budget Page!
The Manchester Essex Regional School District (MERSD) is committed to a collaborative approach to budget planning. Throughout the budget season, we have been working cooperatively with Boards of Selectman and Finance in both Essex and Manchester in order to provide one another with on-going progress reports on our planning process and outlook.
Budget Goals
- Position the district for continual improvement of the educational program and student achievement
- Continue to address gap between enrollment growth and staffing to maintain School Committee class size guidelines and serve increasingly diverse student educational needs
- Exercise fiscal responsibility
- Seek internal efficiencies to offset growth needs when possible
- Maintain financial stability in advance of setting a multi-year goals
- Meet local, state and federal responsibilities while controlling growth
