The three sections outlined in the previous blogs totaled $77,849,533 in proposed preliminary reductions. This remains $16,522,481 short of our projected shortfall. The Board will have to consider among several options to make up this amount prior to passing its final budget in the summer. Thus far, the Board has committed to keeping full-day pre-Kindergarten, retaining staffing levels for Elementary librarians, and maintaining the second planning period for our secondary teachers.
Other options for reductions may be considered, and the projected shortfall amount may change over the next few months as the Legislature considers the amount it will reduce public education funding.
