⚠️ Bethel’s School budget is being cut by $432,754.
That means:
• Fewer teachers hired
• Outdated technology stays outdated
• Rising special ed costs go unmet
• Salary and healthcare increases can't be covered
And when schools suffer, families leave. When families leave, home values drop. When home values drop, YOUR taxes go up.
We've seen this play out in towns across the state. Once it starts, it's almost impossible to reverse.
The fix? $45 a year per household. That's it.
Come to the public hearing on tonight at 7:00 pm at Bethel High School, Auditorium 300 and make your voice heard. Or email comments to budget@bethel-ct.gov. Our schools and our town are worth fighting for.

Would you risk your home's value to save $4 a month? Because that's exactly what's on the table.
Our schools are facing a $432,754 budget cut. If it passes, the average homeowner saves about $45 a year, less than $4 a month.
But research shows what happens next:
→ Families with choices choose towns with better schools
→ Home values fall
→ The tax base shrinks
→ YOUR property taxes go UP to compensate
Every dollar cut from school funding can cost $20 in home value. That $45 "savings" disappears fast.
Paying only $4 a month is critical for our kids, our community, our homes, and our future.
