DERBY >> The Board of Education Thursday unanimously approved a $17.3 million budget for the 2015-16 school year.
The budget is about $676,000, or 3.2 percent, more than the current $16.6 million budget. It next heads to the city’s Board of Apportionment and Taxation for a review, which has been scheduled for March 31 at City Hall. The tax board gets the final say on the overall city and school budget, and is slated to vote later this spring.
The budget the school board approved Thursday is slightly less than the initial $17.4 million figure Superintendent of Schools Matthew Conway had proposed.
