New questions are being raised about the reliability of budget numbers coming from District 186.
A citizens committee that will offer recommendations on budget cuts says it is receiving conflicting figures and numbers that don’t stand up to closer scrutiny.
Several school board members have also challenged the accuracy of the district’s budget figures.
The head of the citizens committee tells the State Journal-Register that estimates for next year’s budget gap have fluctuated between $6.5 million and $11 million.
