Schools facing more money woes

November 7, 2009

ESCANABA — When the state budget for fiscal year 2010 went into effect, school districts were left to determine how to adjust their budgets for the $165 per student cut in state funding. Currently, the Escanaba School District, with approximately 2,696 students, is attempting to adjust its budget to reflect the nearly $444,840 it lost under the $165 per pupil funding cut from the state’s recently adopted 2010 fiscal year budget. “I am working with our board and administrative team right now to evaluate the impact of the $165 per student cut,” said Escanaba School Superintendent Michele Burley. She also said the board and administrative team were considering how to address another $127 per pupil cut or approximately $342,392 loss of state funding in January as proposed by Gov. Jennifer Granholm. A measure currently being sent to the state Senate for consideration would tap into federal stimulus funds which had been set aside for the 2011 fiscal year.
