A Message from the Superintendent

The Salem School District Annual Meeting is comprised of two parts.  The first portion is the Deliberative Session, at which time the Salem School Board will present the Municipal Budget Committee’s proposed 2026-2027 school district budget.  The second portion is election day.  The Board has considered our need to maintain student programs and services and to focus on the organization’s fundamental responsibilities, which include curriculum, instruction, and assessment with all related resources.  Board members also looked to areas where expense reductions could be made.
