NPS is facing a budget gap of $2.7 million for the 2026-2027 school year to keep services level to this year. To close the gap, the Superintendent proposes cutting 11.5 FTE (full time equivalent) positions from the Central Office. The School Committee is taking its final vote on the budget on Monday, April 6th. If you are concerned about how these budget cuts will affect your student(s), please consider:
- Writing to or calling the Mayor, the School Committee, the City Council, and/or the Superintendent:
