It’s the latest school district to propose budget cuts for the upcoming school year.Superintendent Tabitha Branum says without any changes, the district is looking at a potential budget deficit of $28 million. "We are in 2023-24, and we are receiving the same basic allotment from Austin that we received in 2018-19," she said.Enrollment has been consistently declining.
"But I also know that if we’re going to pay our teachers and keep and maintain the programs that we love for our kids, then something has to change."The district says it will work with teachers at the impacted schools to find a new home within the district. Students will be placed in surrounding elementary schools. "As I talk with my superintendent colleagues, most of us are having to have the same discussions," Branum said.
