In an effort to maintain transparency and keep our school community informed, the district is introducing ‘Budget Tuesdays’ in each of our municipalities, beginning April 14, 2026, and concluding May 5, 2026, in addition to our regular budget presentations.
These information sessions, hosted by Berlin CSD Superintendent Mr. Ken Rizzo and Business Official Ms. Colleen Mills, aim to provide the community with comprehensive information and address any questions, so community members can make the most informed decision possible on school budget voting day, May 19, 2026.
