Ketchikan’s school board is set to hold its first public hearing Wednesday on next year’s budget.
It’s just shy of 1% larger than the current year’s $41.1 million budget. That’s despite a projected quarter-million-dollar cut in local education funding that district officials hope to make up through an increase in state aid.
School district officials say they don’t anticipate layoffs. And spending on personnel is planned to rise by about $1 million to roughly $36.5 million. In a memo to the school board, the district’s business manager, Katie Parrott, says the budget aims to preserve core education programming.
