The Springfield School Board is expected to vote tonight on proposals to slash more than $7 million from next year’s budget.
Cuts proposed by Superintendent Walter Milton would eliminate more than 100 positions, many of them teachers, and would lead to the closure of two elementary schools and the relocation of the Capitol College Preparatory Academy.
The board will also vote on cuts proposed by a citizens committee, including the closure of the college prep academy and an end to the middle school program at Iles.
The board meeting is set for 6:30 tonight at the Southeast High School auditorium.
