The Springfield School Board has taken the next step toward approval of a deficit budget, one where the red ink could run even deeper than originally thought.
School board members learned Monday that the district will get less state aid than anticipated, leading to a deficit for the current school year of around 11-million dollars.
Board members agreed to post the budget for a 30-day public review period before final action next month, even though several board members say they don’t have confidence in the numbers, which have been revised several times by Superintendent Walter Milton’s administration.
