Citizens for Needham Schools Blog

Over the past twenty years, mechanisms for supporting public schools have decentralized shifting more and more decision making to the general public. With proposition 2 1/2, passed in 1980, towns can raise property taxes no more than 2 1/2% without the approval of the voters. This means that an active, informed public, involved in resource decision-making, is more important than ever before.
