The document discusses the budget challenges facing a public school district. It summarizes that state aid was cut more than expected, representing a loss of $1.48 million or 16.24% of the budget. Expenses also increased due to higher retirement and health insurance costs. To address a $2.2 million shortfall, the district used federal funding and reserves but also had to make cuts, eliminating positions and reducing programs and services. The budget, tax levy, and rates for the coming year are presented under further funding constraints.
