In what <br />ways will specific components, such as personnel, facilities, and others, need to be <br />addressed to meet the goals? <br />❑ What are our goals for educational opportunities in 2020, in the areas of adult <br />education, preschools, libraries, camps, and others? In what ways will specific <br />components, such as personnel, facilities, and others, need to be addressed to meet the <br />goals? <br />o How do we reconcile the tradeoffs/choices inherent in funding educational services <br />with other municipal services, given that education expenses account for more than <br />50% of the town's expenses? <br />Discussion Questions <br />• How do we define "quality" services? What do we mean by "excellence?" <br />• How do we allocate resources to address educational priorities within the education <br />budgets? <br />• How does our vision intersect with state requirements and funding opportunities? <br />• How can we help all citizens feel comfortable with how their educational tax dollars <br />are spent? <br />
