Budget avoids cuts directly affecting children

Janesville School District administrators have assembled a budget for this school year with no more cuts directly affecting children.

The budget is far from set, however. A public hearing and board discussion are scheduled for October before final approval.

Budget-watchers will recall the board approved cuts last spring but postponed approving a comprehensive budget because so many of the financial details were unknown.

The administration’s proposed budget is now ready for public review.

The board received the budget book Tuesday with little or no time to review it before a 6 p.m. meeting. The board did not discuss budget specifics but held a lengthy discussion about whether it had to vote to approve the proposed budget for publication.
