It s going to hurt. We re preparing for it, District Superintendent Mike Jennings said during the district s work session on Monday.
The state is looking at a budget shortfall of hundreds of millions of dollars from the collapse of energy prices and the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
Jennings outlined the process for crafting a budget by May 15 and budget hearings and adoption on July 9. The district s fiscal year begins July 1.
The Legislature s actions will greatly affect the budget, he said.
Two committees the Select Committee on School Finance and the School Finance Recalibration Committee met in December and worked on two bills, Jennings said.
