When Conway's budget committee met to open its new season on Oct. 14, I was surprised to see most of the SAU 9 squad filing in with us. We had district-wide budget figures in our packet, but I didn't expect a narrative review, and in fact we never got around to discussing the budget at all. Still, the superintendent, assistant superintendent and finance chief settled in with us.
One possible explanation for the administrative presence arose when the budget committee chairman introduced a new issue he had put on the agenda. He wanted to see whether the committee would make a recommendation on a question voters will see on their Nov. 3 state ballots, regarding an optional tax cap that focuses largely on the funding of school administrative units.
