The Brookfield Board of Education has approved a $54.82 million budget plan for the 2025-26 school year, despite objections from three members. The budget includes a 3.64% increase, focusing on salaries, special education, and transportation. While some members argued for more discussion and review, Board Chair Wendy Youngblood defended the process, saying ample opportunities for feedback were provided. The budget will now move forward for review by the town’s First Selectman.
