"General government" is the sum of all remaining town departments not shown separately. General fund revenue does not have line-item earmarking; proportional ribbons are illustrative. Override amounts show the full annual commitment at phase-in (FY29). The override phases in over three years: town-side items begin in FY27, school items (special ed, kindergarten fee, technology) begin in FY28. The school share shown is the total override minus identified town-side line items; it includes COLA/step salary increases, the amounts of which are set through collective bargaining.
