GRANBY, CT — Granby residents will get a chance Monday to weigh in on the Board of Education’s proposed 2026-27 budget before it goes to voters later this month.

School officials are proposing a 3.55 percent budget increase. According to information shared by Superintendent of Schools Cheri Burke, that includes 1.98 percent tied to contractual increases, 1.28 percent tied to special education and 0.29 percent for all other expenses.
