JAY Superintendent Scott Albert told directors of Regional School Unit 73 on Thursday night that if the current district budget is maintained for 2021-22, $597,000 would have to be cut from the proposed spending plan.
“I went through supplies, equipment, repair lines, everything except special education and cut 10%,” Albert said. “Even after that, we’d lose four teachers, two education technicians and a bus monitor just to get us on even ground.
“There may be a year that will have to happen,” he said. “I don’t think this is the year.”
Unlike towns, school districts can only carry over 3% of unspent money annually, Albert said. After that, the district has three years to spend anything over that, he noted.
