An area school superintendent has proposed demoting himself and cutting his own pay to help alleviate his district’s $1 million deficit for next year.
The State Journal-Register reports Hillsboro superintendent David Powell would step down as superintendent and return to the classroom at a lower rate of pay.
The assistant superintendent would become superintendent, and his current position would be eliminated.
The moves would save nearly a quarter-million dollars and would be added to another million dollars in cuts elsewhere in the Hillsboro schools budget.
