Mr. McCarthy had recommended a $250,000 decrease in the $470,709 additional local hinds requested by the School Board for the 2008-2009 school year. Mr. McCarthy proposed an increase of $220,709 in local funding. The “bottom line” approved by the Supervisors is $11,813,799. This figure includes revenues from State, National and local sources and is $283,135 lower than the budget fin* the 2007-08 school year. The School Board already approved $358,000 in budget reductions before sending the budget to the BOS. I will recommend additional budget reductions of $250,000 - based on the decision by the BOS - to the School Board on May 13. I<atin student excels
