Solutions proposed for District's 2011-12 funding gap; cuts in central office, operations receive priority
Based on staff recommendations and guidance from School Board members, the School District at a Feb. 16 budget workshop proposed $35 million in cuts for the 2011-12 school year. The goal was to make cuts first in central office and operations, and to make cuts to school budgets only as a last resort. However, it has not been possible to balance next year’s budget without including reductions to schools. Budget development for 2011-12 will continue over the next several months. The final proposed budget for 2011-12 will be introduced to the Board for consideration on June 15. A hearing will be held on June 16, and a vote is planned for July 6.
