The members of the Board of Finance (BOF) are currently considering the 2023-2024 budget for the Town of Trumbull, which includes the Trumbull Public Schools. On Thursday, March 9, The Board of Education (BOE) and my team met with the BOF to review the 2023-2024 BOE adopted budget of $121,693,693, a 4.98% increase. Our presentation highlighted how effective and efficient the Trumbull Public Schools have been with taxpayer dollars. We also demonstrated how inflation has impacted our overall costs in multiple areas. Finally, we showed the BOF that we would need to reduce our already lean budget request by approximately $2 Million dollars if the schools received a 3.3% increase to our budget as requested by First Selectman Tesoro. You can find all our budget materials here. The BOF is looking to hear from the community through two public hearings listed below. You can also email the BOF using the address: pcollier@trumbull-ct.gov

We will then discuss the initial priority tiers and how they inform the current options development. We welcome your questions - your participation is vital to the process!

The Trumbull Public Schools is proud to announce the launch of our new district website platform to assist with increasing communication with our families and the community. The district site, Madison Middle School, TECEC, and Trumbull High School all launched their sites on the new platform on March 8.
The new online experience includes a more streamlined design, a consistent navigation, improved mobile-friendly pages, integrated school calendar functionality, embedded messaging of important events, and an improved search engine.
We encourage you to visit the website at https://trumbullps.org. The most frequently visited pages for the site are the Lunch Menu & Calendar. These can both be found at the top of the page under Quick Links.
The remaining schools will all be migrated to the new platform over the next several months and are expected to launch in June.
