Promoting A Sustainable Easton
As the budget documents here show, the coming year is going to be a tough one. Following years of high inflation and two decades of minimal increases to state funding for education and government services, Easton faces a difficult budget in fiscal year 2026 likely to cut education and public service levels in our community. Voters showed their concern for the fiscal challenges Easton faces at the May 2024 Town Meeting by establishing Promoting A Sustainable Easton.
This 19 member committee of Easton residents, educators, public safety personnel, town and school leaders is tasked with reviewing Easton’s operating position and making recommendations back to the Select Board, School Committee, and ultimately Easton voters on the best path forward for a sustainable budget.
PASE must complete their recommendations by March 2025. They meet publicly and have a detailed website covering their work and your ability to get involved at www.easton.ma.us/pase
