USD 457 Budget Cuts Target 2011-12 Expenditures
USD 457 faces a $2 million further cut in 2011-12 on a $56.94 million budget. The board approved a 2 percent across the board reduction in program expenditures last year, with large lines in special education and elementary instruction. New actions include moving Outlook Academy to a Garden City campus, eliminating several administrator and teaching positions, closing high school day care, and a moratorium on overtime. Property tax increases of about two mills and potential furlough days are on the table to cover gaps.

House GOP budget preserves Medicare cuts under Ryan plan
The House budget unveiled by Rep. Paul Ryan would keep nearly 450 billion dollars of Medicare cuts from the prior health care law. The plan argues savings come from limiting subsidies under Medicare Advantage while preserving reforms to strengthen Medicare for current seniors. Republicans say the cuts were attacked when Democrats passed Obama care, and the budget uses the savings to fund future reforms and stabilize Medicare.
