SCHOOL COMMITTEE The School Committee and members of the Appropriation and Capital Expenditures Committees, met with the Board for review and discussion of the Town Manager's FY92 Revenue Projections, Mrs. Smith thanked all for their commitment to the Town and for their presence at the meeting that evening for continued dialogue on the budget. She noted that the Selectmen had adopted as one of their goals a closer working relationship with the School Committee, so as to get through the financial difficulties now facing the Town and she felt that goal was beginning to be realized. Mr. white distributed copies of his Revenue Projections for FY92, as forecast last June and adjusted to reflect the changes in economy from July through November. The adjusted estimates were even less optimistic than those developed in June although it is still expected that Cherry Sheet receipts will remain level.
