Further state cuts being studied

School districts received word Saturday that Department of Education is working on possible 6.7% cuts to education:

I wanted to inform you that we, and all other state agencies, have received a request from the state budget office to prepare a plan for additional budget reductions, deeper than those already proposed by Governor Beshear.

The only items exempted are the appropriation for health insurance and the portions of SEEK that relate to facility debt service. We have been asked to complete this task by the close of business on Monday, January 26th.
