Templeton – Phillipston MA School Budget Approval
The Narragansett Regional School District Budget was approved by a margin of just 10 votes (277-267) at a special meeting on August 3, 2026. Now, Templeton leaders are faced with additional cuts to the rest of the municipal budget which will impact some essential services.
The Templeton Select Board recently wrote: “additional $1,100,484 in cuts that would be needed would affect Police, Fire, the Senior Center, the Library, DPW, Building & Grounds, Development Services, and Town Hall. More cuts mean fewer resources to keep Templeton safe, clean, and thriving.” Now that the School Budget has passed, the Select Board will need to discuss next steps.
