USD 457 proposes widespread cuts to balance budget
The USD 457 budget committee recommends eliminating 14 staff positions and moving New Outlook Academy and Bison Adult Education to Garden City High School to save money. A secretary, a custodian, and two teachers would be cut, plus no utility costs for the moved building. The day care at the high school would close, affecting two jobs. Additional savings include eliminating overtime and the year-start speaker, with total savings of about 218,500. The committee also backs keeping staff dinners and civic memberships. The board will consider these recommendations at the next meeting.
