Pequot School Board Cuts $400 K

The Pequot Lakes School Board is making $400 thousand in cuts for the coming school year. Board Chair Kim Bolz-Andolshek says the cuts will affect some non-tenured teacher and paraprofessional positions. The other reductions will come through attrition and retirements.
The German program will be reduced by 80 percent, allowing the program to continue for German two students next year.
The Dean of Students position will be eliminated. Sue Sergent who holds that post now will return to the science classroom replacing the non-tenured instructor there.
Bolz-Andolshek told KLKS News, it is unlikely those positions will be restored. She says it appears the financial situation won't get any better during the next two years.
