Warsaw Budget On Display

Warsaw, IL – The Warsaw School District's budget for the current year will remain on display for a few more weeks. Superintendent Kim Schilson says the school board is expected to adopt the roughly $4,000,000 spending plan during its next meetin. She says several funds, including the education fund, are projected to run in the red. Schilson says taht is attributed, in part, to the rising and unstable cost of fuel and electricity. Schilson says the projected deficits could shrink if costs go down as the school year moves ahead. The district will make up for the shortfalls with funds in reserve accounts. Schilson says the budget includes a wage hike for teachers, money for a new reading program for younger students, and equipment to develop a dual-credit welding course. She says state funding also increased this year.
