Richland School Faces Severe Budget Cuts Ahead
Richland School District warns of drastic cuts for 1983 84 if funding remains unchanged. Superintendent Vera Stone outlines a $641 826 shortfall from a $4 964 068 budget to balance with about $3.7 million in expected income. She cites reduced federal aid and a smaller beginning balance, with possible elimination of Chapter 2 funds and 15 percent cut in Title I funds. The plan would force reductions to elective programs and staff replacements, prioritizing core mandates while urging tax increases and legislative action.
