During the Jan. 3 School Board meeting, Superintendent, Dan Black, presented to the School Board what would likely need to be cut if the default budget is passed this March.
Black explained that right now they’re looking at less than a 2% increase between the operating budget and the warrant articles, but he noted they are nervous the operating budget may not be approved.
“We’re nervous about that. We tried to limit the growth as much as possible,” said Black.
Black said if the operating budget isn’t approved they would have to make cuts to academics.
“We will need to cut into the academic program and we will need to cut into the co-curricular program. That’s not something we take lightly. That’s not good news,” said Black.
He noted the difference between the proposed operating budget and the default budget is a little under $400,000.
Black stated they looked at 12 different reductions that would likely have to happen if the budget was at default levels.
