## Resource

Barre’s school district is on the brink—voters face a third chance to approve a $57 million budget, slashed by $350K and trimmed of vacant roles, hoping this revised plan will finally pass after two failures. As Vermont’s only district without an approved budget this year, they’re racing to avoid deep cuts to student transport, athletics, and extracurriculars. Governor Phil Scott, a Barre native, backs the community’s ability to choose wisely, expressing cautious optimism. The September 15 vote could reshape the district’s future—and students’ education—for years to come. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
