One of the draft budgets included in the agenda for this Wednesday’s Advisory Budget Committee meeting shows the potential impact of the more that two million dollars in cuts being made in order to provide a balanced budget for the 2008/2009 school year.
The biggest decrease proposed by the draft budget is the costs associated with educational assistants, which is proposed to drop from approximately $2.43 million to $1.91 million – a total decrease of $525,529. The cost for teachers is only proposed to decrease by $1,830, while spending on Principals and Vice-principals could see a $167,161 reduction.
