A budget cut proposal going to the Evanston/Skokie Board of Education Monday night lists a series of cuts to offset a $1.9 million shortfall in the upcoming budget year.
That represents about a 1.3% reduction from the current year’s $146 million spending level.
Many of the reductions come from purchasing fewer supplies, and fixing fewer things which break. There are also savings in consultant services and professional development and training ,and through not filling several vacant positions.
