The budget process continued this week at the Needham School Committee, with a look at how the literacy curriculum is being implemented, and what processes are in place to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The Superintendent also prepared the committee to look at next year’s budget with a critical eye, as town revenues are not expected to support the proposal presented last month.
