Aiken County School Board Faces Slim Budget Forecast
The Aiken County Board of Education unveiled a bleak 2010-11 budget outlook at a special work session. Comptroller Tray Traxler noted a proposed 1,625 per pupil spending level and a shrinking Education Finance Act, predicting possible further cuts if March revenues fall. The district faces tight cash flow with under 10 million in contingency funds and potential ITA adjustments, while federal stimulus funds expire in 2011-12.
