At a meeting this Wednesday (6 PM Carlsbad City Hall, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive) Carlsbad school board trustees will meet to discuss a proposed $80 million budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Problem is it’s about $1 million more than the schools have coming in.
Technically, it’s a deficit-spending budget,” said Walter Freeman, the district’s deputy superintendent of business services. However, Freeman said, the shortfall will be offset by $1.3 million is state grants the district received last year but plans to use this year to hire more high school counselors and buy art, science and physical education supplies.”
Might we suggest the “shortfall” be made up with bake sales and magazine subscription drives?
