Youth Commission plans under-the-sea March event, eyes budget increase.
Youth Commission · Meeting of February 10, 2026
Carlisle Youth Commission plans under-the-sea themed March event, discusses town budget increase. The seven-member commission, led by Co-Chair Heather Wright, reported the program is $1,000 under its annual spending limit with $13,000 in reserves and generates monthly revenue. Member Janelle Kapusta flagged enrollment growth: the incoming fourth-grade cohort will reach 80 children and the current eighth-grade class exceeds 60, potentially straining future food and supply budgets.
The commission discussed timing a request to town government for a higher spending cap around the annual town vote but recorded no formal motion.
