The FRRSD School Committee, at its regular meeting March 3, voted to approve a FY26 budget, and also released corresponding numbers for the impact of the revised RDA on the town's FY26 assessments from the FRRSD. The impact on Otis will be significantly less than the initial estimate, which was based on the FY25 budget and state parameters needed to compute assessments. Because both of these have been updated for FY26, Otis will only see a $36 increase in its average single family property tax bill due to the revised RDA.

Afterwards at the RDA information session, FRRSD Superintendent Tim Lee refuted published comments by the Otis Select Board and the Otis Observer which were in opposition to the revised RDA.
