Budget clashes over school utility cuts tested by county
The county commission debated the school system utility budget cutting options. A 68 to 65 degree classroom temperature proposal sparked tension with Superintendent Noel Farmer Jr. after a vote reversal. A $25,000 utility cut was adopted, shifting about $153,000 into the county budget. Sundergill floated a roughly $1.1 million school cut, risking even greater uncertainty. The plan also defers middle school funds, trims last year’s health fund balance by $270,000, reduces transportation by $94,000, and imposes smaller cuts across 20 administrative areas including consultants and travel.
