County eyes school budget cuts and board responses
Mrs. Conner said she would listen to a new school board proposal but doubts withholding funds would devastate the system. Commissioner Kimbro urged closer scrutiny, noting cuts to coaching supplements and band program funding. The school board approved 1.78 million in cuts including 425,700 from capital expenses and 200,000 from coaching supplements, plus five jobs saved 220,000.
