New Fairfield Schools Superintendent Kenneth Craw has proposed a $50.1 million budget for the 2025-26 school year, a 3.81% increase from the current budget. The plan prioritizes staffing, including a bilingual teacher, a part-time special education teacher, and an additional orchestra instructor, while reducing a math intervention position. It also boosts arts programs, including theater and orchestra. Key expenses include $31 million for payroll, $7.7 million for health benefits, and $4.96 million for special education.
