Finance Committee recommends $500K override, flags potential fuel shortfall
Finance Committee · Meeting of March 18, 2026
Westhampton Finance Committee votes to recommend $500,000 override. The committee, meeting March 18, endorsed the override after reviewing revised budget estimates showing increases in Hampshire Regional ($16,000), elementary school ($11,000), but offsets from lower vocational tuition ($7,000) and accounting costs ($8,000). Insurance dropped $11,000.
The committee unanimously approved a contingent motion to recommend rejection of the Hampshire Regional budget if the override fails, seeking to spread austerity impacts more evenly across districts and the elementary school.
