School district presents budget to council

BERLIN — In the first of what should be several presentations over the next couple of weeks by city departments, the Berlin Board of Education presented its Fiscal Year 2023 budget to the Berlin City Council on Thursday evening.

Berlin Schools Superintendent Julie King started her presentation saying she knows there has been discussion recently in the community about the district’s low test scores. She said she wanted to point out that state assessments are simply part of the big picture. She said the district uses its own national assessment to track data for initiatives in the school system.
