CROSBY IRONTON SETS BUDGET TIMELINE

The Crosby Ironton School Board approved a timeline for budget reductions at Monday night's meeting but didn't talk about specifics. Two board committees were to come up with a projected enrollment figure for next fall but one committee wasn't able to agree on one so the board hasn't decided yet how deep to make the cuts. Superintendent Jamie Skevlund said if the board was not able to establish that baseline figure at this time, they would when it came time to actually make the cuts. That is scheduled to happen at the next meeting, on January 7th, 2008. The timeline adopted Monday night indicates the board is to adopt the Superintendent's recommendations to cut educational programs and teachers. The timeline says the board will send lay-off notices to affected personnel on January 29th.
