Board signals extracurriculars, optional programs first in line for cuts
Summary
Members said curricular supports like counselors and safety officers are priorities to preserve while many extracurriculars, modified teams and pandemic-era supports may be reduced if revenue drops.
Board members said they will try to protect curriculum and safety services while identifying optional programs that could be reduced if revenue proves insufficient.
Board member (S3) said the district will ‘‘start at the bottom of the fun stuff’’ and protect curricular items, while Board member (S1) and others named school resource officers and counselors as top priorities they do not intend to cut. Board member (S2) warned that many COVID-era tutoring and reading programs may be unsustainable without additional funding and cautioned the board will need to be ‘‘creative’’ to preserve priority services.
