The spending plan represents a 1.75 percent increase over the current fiscal year, the MonroeCourier.com reported.

The finance board trimmed the Town Council’s original proposal by about $300,000, citing a reduction in school maintenance costs and other savings, the story said.

District 1: Fawn Hollow Elementary School, 345 Fan Hill Road.
District 2: Stepney Elementary School, 180 Old Newtown Road.
