School board directs $1.8 million cut to next year's budget
Summary
After executive session, the Coquille School District board voted to direct the superintendent to reduce next year's budget by $1,800,000. The motion passed with the board voting 'Aye' and no recorded opposition.
The Coquille School District board voted to instruct the superintendent to reduce next year's budget by $1,800,000 following a return from executive session.
A board member moved from the floor: "I'd like to make a motion to direct the superintendent to make a $1,800,000 reduction in next year's budget," and the chair later announced the motion as having been made by Heather with a second from Sharon. The motion passed after the chair called for a voice vote; members responded "Aye," and no opposition was recorded.
The directive follows earlier discussion where a board member asked to table a comparable proposal pending more information. The earlier attempt to table was made and seconded; the board later revisited the matter after executive session and approved the reduction. The board did not provide detailed line-item allocations or which departments would absorb cuts during the open meeting discussion.
Board members said the superintendent will prepare a revised budget for the board to review; no timetable or specific implementation details were announced at the meeting.
