The School Board held both a regular meeting and a budget hearing on Monday evening. The meeting took place in the wake of last week's dual announcements of Superintendent Tim McGonegal's February resignation, and the district's admittance of a $3.4 million deficit in the 2012 - 2013 school budget. Dr. McGonegal was absent from the meeting, and early into it, board chair Harry Kinnan read a letter from the Superintendent stating that he was immediately resigning from the position, and was appointing Assistant Superintendent Bob Gagnon in his place for only the purposes of the evening's meeting. Thus, much of the meeting was spent discussing the shortfall, and how to proceed in the wake of a freshly resigned superintendent.
