More on the School Budget

From the Star News.

Now, only 29 people will lose their jobs and some custodians will lose benefits.

The vote also means the school system will face a similar budget crisis next year because it spent most of its available reserves to balance this year's budget. That means a $4-$5 million potential shortfall next year even if the system has zero growth. That seems unlikely, as Sumner has added 300+ students a year in recent years and added just over 600 students this school year.
