Despite the gloomy predictions of school district budgets for this upcoming year, District 6 is looking to break even on it’s 2009-2010 numbers.Director of Finance John MacDonald tells CHSJ News, it’s happened before in the district, but it’s going to be tough.
MacDonald says one area that is in the red is Special Needs and Student services. He says it’s projected to be over $600 thousand dollars below the amount allotted, but that is because the district has had to hire an additional 9 teacher assistants.MacDonald says some areas are showing a deficit right now because of the previously announced cuts, but those numbers could be different in a few months.
