A $28.3 million spending plan proposed by the Regional School Unit 1 board will go before residents tonight at a district-wide meeting, where they will decide if that is the 2016-17 budget that goes out to referendum on June 14.

The meeting, with 20 budget articles, starts at 6 p.m. at Bath Middle School, located at 6 Old Brunswick Road. Registration begins at 5:15 p.m.
