Greensburg Salem School Board approved a tentative 2021-22 budget that avoids a tax increase while calling for $47 million in spending but without restoring librarian positions that some residents and at least one board member want included.
The budget passed by a 7-1 vote on Wednesday, with Lynna Thomas opposed. Thomas suggested the budget be amended to include at least one of three school librarian positions phased out during the current school year.
The 2020-21 budget would keep taxes at 89.72 mills, while eliminating several positions through attrition and reshuffling of staff.

Greensburg Salem School District is looking to restore some staff positions under a proposed 2021-22 budget that would not raise real estate taxes. The board will consider the tentative $47 million budget at its May 19 meeting.
Business manager J. R. Dzurica said this week that the budget will allow the district to retain all staff positions and fill some that have been vacant, including hiring an elementary band instructor and a grant writer along with an in-house technician for technology-related matters and a part-time curriculum administrative assistant.
