County Commission Slams Door on Schools

The County Commission passed its general budget this week -- a plan which includes all but the School Board's proposal.  In doing so, the Commission refused to adopt a modest tax increase that would have helped the School Board fully-fund its proposal. 

Barring a proposal that garner majority support on the Commission, the School Board will now be forced to make $7.6 million in cuts to its 2012-13 budget. 

Another option is to insist that the current proposal be funded and send it back to the Commission. 

The School Board will discuss its options at an upcoming study session.
