Currently, according to the state Board of Economic Advisors, revenue is already down by 3.5 percent, just over a month into the current budget year. And that could mean more cuts for school districts and other state agencies.
“There is some talk that they will do an across-the-board cut of 4 percent,” said Julie Thompson, a spokesperson for the school district.
If that happens, the district would face an approximately $3 million in additional cuts, Thompson said.
“We are formulating a plan to handle the cuts but will have nothing concrete until the Budget Control Board meets,” she said.
That board will meet Aug. 13 to determine how much the state budget will need to be trimmed.
