Greedy plans by the Up-Island Regional School District (UIRSD) for a scullery renovation and new food service program at West Tisbury Shape by September are up against budget constraints and town meeting schedules.
The UIRSD ready committee meets at 5 pm on January 23 at the West Tisbury Manner to certify a fiscal year 2013 (FY13) budget and assessments for fellow towns. The new budget includes funds for renovating the West Tisbury Grammar's kitchen and for starting up of a food service program that would also not play tricks on the Chilmark School.
