Like there wasn’t already ENOUGH being presented and voted on at tomorrow’s CSD Board of Ed meeting! (Westchester – 6:30p).

According to this recent AJC article, the superintendent’s proposed budget cuts for the 2009-10 school year focus mainly on jobs “by not hiring, by attrition or by eliminating part-time positions which are typically filled by individuals who are retired.”

According to the article, both the Frasier Center and the popular elementary school foreign language program will be saved, though fees at the Frasier Center must be raised to make the program “self-supporting”.

You can view the full list of proposed cuts, along with their estimated cost HERE.

In an effort to be proactive about potential budget cuts, Decatur is the first school system in the state to prepare a slimmer budget for next year. We still don’t know how big (or small) the cuts will be, but in the overview letter for tomorrow’s meeting, Dr. Edwards estimates they could range between 3%-10%.
