Sorry, But you are wrong.
“Outside of NYC, public school budgets are subject to scrutiny and must be approved by voters.”
I am an elected member of my Town Council, the Board of Education budget is passed by the board and submitted to the Board of Finance and First Selectman/Mayor. hey finalize a town budget that is voted on by the Town Council
The town voters NEVER get to vote on the school budget.
What you wrote may happen in some places but not in many others (especially in CT)
