FINANCIAL REPORT
Trustees voted to unanimously adopt the state’s mandated second interim report, a detailed financial plan that shows how the district will remain solvent over the next three academic years.
Instead of cutting 128 positions, officials have calculated that the district will now be able to remain solvent by losing only 79 jobs, through delaying textbook purchases and building maintenance, among other fund reorganization and provisions for savings.
