Superintendent Harold Guthrie presented a 1.9 million dollar budget reduction package to the school board featuring staff cuts, larger class sizes, and new fees. High schools face heavier cuts than elementaries, with cuts discussed after surveys and a defeated enrichment levy election. The board met at Jefferson High School Little.
The board examines a $57 million general fund with 27 teacher cuts and higher secondary class sizes to 26:1. Fees for driver ed and co curriculars, elimination of seventh to eighth grade swimming, baseball and softball, and reductions in admin and support staff are proposed, with an elementary school closure and audience urging not to worsen ratios.
The Cedar Rapids school board tabled a proposal to form a population-based committee to study district building use.
