Dover School Committee approves revised FY27 budget cutting $220,000 from prior version. The revised plan, presented by Superintendent Beth McCoy and Business Manager Dawn Fattore, narrows the in-district budget increase to 2.63 percent, driven by a $20,000 Pre-K director reconfiguration, a new District-wide Curriculum Coordinator role at $28,000, and a reduction of 2.2 FTE specialists in FLES and PE totaling $178,000. The Committee also approved a 4 percent increase in pre-school tuition for FY27 and received an FY26 monthly report showing $745,000 in negative variance in out-of-district tuition costs.
